Just Around the Corner speaks of indecisiveness juxtaposed against conviction, doubt against belief, chaos vs instinct, all set against the inherently optimistic feel of this work with its bright primary colours and emotional tone.
"In this work, we see multiple influences or factors starting to coalesce into something more concrete; we just haven't gotten there yet. As the work unfolds, there's a sense of something central developing, nascent and shapeless. It's like a thought or idea that's forming. There are competing considerations and impulses. The interplay of painterly elements becomes a positive force, a catalyst for the view of a process that we see developing, like the alchemical psychologists 'mercurial element' or philosophers stone, that is needed to ignite or facilitate a process."
