Veil of the Threshold

Veil of the Threshold presents a distorted landscape suspended between surface and depth, where water, air, and land collapse into one another. Natural forms are stretched, obscured, and partially erased, transforming the familiar into something unstable and uncanny. Cool greens and submerged blues draw on Itten’s colour theory to evoke a season of transition—suggesting renewal tempered by unease. The falling water becomes a spiritual passage rather than a literal feature, while the blurred treeline implies presences that feel sensed rather than seen. Engaging Mark Fisher’s weird and eerie, the painting unsettles through its quiet vacancy and altered natural forms, positioning nature as a psychological and spiritual terrain shaped by distortion, absence, and unseen forces.
