Molly Palmer:
The Fade (Transitions) continues themes of a search for a sense of home that is held internally, exploring the instability and fragmentation that come from moving from country to country and maintaining many of one's relationships online. The painting shows the ghost shadow of a figure from a pre-existing series called Spore. The protagonist discovers a locked box that contains a portal to interconnected worlds, transporting him/her between the present time and the future / past. This piece is one of the earlier examples of my interest in a wider episodic pattern within my work, where pieces from the past call future ideas into being and other pieces are made as an expansion or abstraction of another.
