Additional Information

Created to mark the birth of the artist’s daughter, Ruby, Laughing at Death (Time Misrepresents) is a deeply personal yet abstract meditation on new life, time, and the surreal nature of transformation. Though layered with abstraction, a keen eye will find traces of a foetus and a hidden timestamp—her moment of arrival imprinted within the painting itself.

The title hints at something both profound and playful. Birth is, in many ways, a defiance of time and mortality—a beginning that rewrites everything that came before. Yet time is unreliable, stretching and compressing in those moments of anticipation and arrival. The painting captures this distortion, its shifting forms and energetic marks reflecting the chaos, beauty, and inevitability of change.

A celebration, a reflection, and a record of a life’s first breath—this work exists as both a personal artefact and a universal story of transition, where past and future collide in a single, irreversible instant.
