Transit, Emily & Sarah Collection – Abstract geometric composition featuring overlapping circles, curves, and rectangular shapes in vibrant colours against a background divided into teal and red sections. The background is split vertically: teal-green on the left, bright red on the right, with a purple triangle at the top centre. Multiple circular and curved forms overlap throughout: a large green circle on the left, a purple circle in the upper right, an orange circle in the centre, and red circles in the lower left and right areas. A pink oval shape with a small blue circle sits in the centre-right. Vertical elements include an orange rectangle in the lower centre and a teal curved stripe running through the middle. Green leaf-like curved shapes appear on the left and right edges.

Exhausted, Emily learns which opinions to keep private. Her inner life became a separate country, visited alone. 🗺️🚧

Civilities, Emily & Sarah Collection – Abstract cubist composition of fragmented facial features and curved forms in bold colours against a dark blue-green background. The image suggests two overlapping faces broken into geometric sections. On the left, blue curved shapes suggest a profile or shoulder. A brown-beige section in the upper centre contains a green eye with dark pupil. Red sections appear throughout - a large red area on the right side and red curved forms suggesting lips or facial features. Yellow curved shapes flow through the composition, creating organic forms against the geometric sections. Green areas fill spaces between other colours. Orange accents appear on the left edge. The features are scattered and reassembled: eyes, lips, and facial planes don't align in traditional positions but suggest faces viewed from multiple angles simultaneously. Dark teal background shows through gaps between the colourful forms.

Sarah stopped calling her mother daily. Now her mother's voice sounds like a polite stranger's greeting. The silence normal.📞🥶

Surrender, Emily & Sarah Collection - Abstract painting of two overlapping faces in vibrant cubist style. The left face uses blue, yellow, and red geometric sections with a simple circular eye. The right face features red, purple, and pink tones with long black hair flowing down the right side. The faces merge at the centre, sharing a geometric nose rendered in brown and beige. Black outlines separate each bold colour block, creating a stained-glass effect. Both faces have simplified, mask-like features with circular eyes and linear mouths. The composition suggests two individuals blending into one form, their boundaries blurred where they meet while remaining distinct on the outer edges.

Versions, Emily & Sarah Collection – Abstract composition featuring multiple overlapping faces and facial features in cubist style using vibrant colours. The image suggests four or more fragmented faces layered together. Upper left shows a brown-orange face section. A purple face dominates the upper centre-right with simple eyes and yellow lips. A bright yellow face appears on the right side with a blue eye and defined features. The lower portion contains additional face fragments: a blue face with purple lips on the left, sections in grey-green and yellow. Red lips appear multiple times throughout - on different faces in varying positions. Geometric shapes include a grey-blue triangular form in the upper left, yellow curved stripes suggesting a neck on the right, and small rectangular accents. Eyes are scattered across the composition as blue circles or ovals.

Wet Solitude, Emily & Sarah Collection - Abstract minimal composition split vertically into two equal halves: blue on the left, red on the right. The division runs precisely down the centre of the canvas. A profile silhouette emerges from the negative space where the two colours meet. The blue section forms the shape of a face looking right, while the red section creates the face looking left. The profiles face each other along the central divide. Simple features are suggested through the colour interaction: a forehead, nose, lips, and chin visible in the negative space between colours. A small, curved line near the bottom centre suggests a mouth or lips detail in darker tones. The composition is stark and minimal, with no additional details or outlines. The two solid colour fields create the entire image through their meeting edge.

Sarah's tears find other places: the shower, the car, anywhere but in front of Emily. Grief goes underground.😢🚗

Love’s Proof, Emily & Sarah Collection - Abstract portrait of a face split vertically down the centre against a background divided into dark blue and bright yellow halves. The face occupies a large oval form in the centre of the composition. The left half of the face is rendered in solid orange-red with minimal features. The right half uses teal-blue tones. A single eye appears on the right side as a dark blue oval shape within the teal section. A geometric nose is suggested by angular shapes where the two halves meet. Purple-blue lips are clearly defined across the lower centre of the face, spanning both the red and teal sections. The neck area continues below in simplified form. The stark vertical division creates a face that is simultaneously unified as one form yet clearly split into two distinct colour zones. No visible outlines separate the sections, colours meet in clean edges.

Ledger, Emily & Sarah Collection - Abstract portrait of a face in cubist style against a bright blue background.

The eyes are asymmetrical: the left eye has colourful concentric circles while the right is a simple blue shape. A yellow neck extends below, with the suggestion of a dark blue or teal shoulder area at the bottom. Black outlines separate the colour sections throughout.

The shoulders are suggested by colour blocks - red on the left, teal on the right, with a small green section visible in the lower right corner. Black outlines separate the major colour sections.

Undercover, Emily & Sarah Collection – Abstract geometric composition divided vertically into yellow and dark blue-black halves. The left side is bright yellow, while the right side is deep navy or black, creating stark contrast. A large teal circle is positioned in the upper centre, straddling the division between yellow and dark blue. Below it, a smaller blue semicircle sits against the yellow background. Vertical rectangular stripes descend from the circles: a green stripe in the centre flanked by blue sections, with a red stripe on the right side. These vertical elements suggest a simplified standing figure or tower form. A horizontal red rectangle runs along the bottom edge, grounding the composition. The overall effect is minimalist and architectural, with bold colour blocking and clean geometric shapes. Black outlines are minimal or absent, with colours meeting in sharp, clean edges.

Edited, Emily & Sarah Collection - Abstract painting of two figures in cubist style using bold primary colours. The left figure has a yellow face with simple black features - two dots for eyes and a curved line for a mouth - framed by black hair. A yellow neck extends down to a blue torso with a red circular accent. The right figure features an orange face with similar simplified features, black hair, and a blue torso. Purple and orange geometric shapes suggest clothing or body forms on the right figure. Both figures are positioned against a background divided into red, green, and orange sections. Their bodies are rendered as geometric blocks: blue rectangles for torsos, red and orange sections suggesting arms or clothing. Black outlines separate each colour area.

Muted, Emily & Sarah Collection - Abstract geometric composition in vibrant colours featuring curved organic shapes and circular forms. The canvas is divided into vertical sections with a yellow stripe on the left, blue in the centre, and red-orange on the right. Large, curved shapes in deep teal-green dominate the composition, creating flowing organic forms that suggest petals or leaves. These curves overlap and interweave across the colour-blocked background. Circular elements punctuate the design: a red circle in the upper left against yellow, overlapping orange circles, a purple circle on the left edge, a yellow oval in the centre-right, and a light blue circle lower right. A thin curved grey-blue line weaves through the lower left portion. Black outlines define many of the shapes, particularly the circular forms and some curved edges.

The neck continues the vertical split: yellow on the left, transitioning through purple in the centre to grey-green on the right. A small red circle appears on the grey-green section of the neck. Blue curved shapes flank the lower sides, suggesting shoulders. Black outlines separate each colour section.
