     A nude male figure sits in quiet repose against a deep blue field, his posture relaxed yet charged with introspection. Rendered in flat, stylized lines, the body becomes both symbol and study—anatomy distilled to essence. The horizontal bands behind him suggest motion paused, a wave held mid-breath. “Stillness” invites the viewer into a moment of suspended thought, where vulnerability meets poise and silence hums with tension.

     Drawing from a career in photography and a background in theatre, Terry seamlessly merges past and present methodologies. The human figure, captured through photography, becomes a subject of transformation, detached from its original context and placed into an unfamiliar world. The interplay between reality and abstraction reflects an artistic transition—a step away from the constraints of literal representation into the boundless realm of visual storytelling.

     Balancing presence and absence, simplicity and complexity, this piece reflects an ongoing exploration of narrative through visual art. It is a testament to the artist’s ability to craft moments that linger—stories told not through words but through composition, color, and form.
