A tilted head depicted in colours of bruising or decay falls to the side of the canvas. The eye sockets are empty, refusing to reveal any emotion as the paint seeps into thinned rivulets that dissolve the edges of the skin and mouth, reminiscent of wrinkled patterns of ageing.

Responding to an increasingly digitalised world where images and time periods merge in one seemingly eternal present, Gillett works from quickly sketched impressions with a slower, intuitive approach to colour and light that blurs the experienced with the imagined. She looks to offer a transitional space that is both within and beyond the viewer’s experiences by adopting a surrealistic logic to transform familiar scenes, which creates a psychological exploration of time and place and often takes inspiration from literature.

The painting is oil on canvas.
