LIGHT BEYOND THE CHURCH was created with fast and spontaneous brushstrokes on top of a patterned background. Composition is simple and centred; graceful lines are sacrificed. Importance is instead given to the impression of a setting sun which casts light between the church dome and spire. These were treated as hollow plastic objects which turn red at their thinnest parts when torchlight is shining right behind (or better still... through) them.
