One of the earlier works in the journey towards abstraction, The Gateway was the first piece inspired by the feeling of the sea and water rather than a direct landscape. The layered circular form draws the eye inward, creating a hypnotic sense of movement that feels both expansive and deeply centred.
Inspired by the North Sea in winter, the blues and silvery tones carry the cool, reflective atmosphere of water beneath a pale sky. Unlike the warmth of gold often found in later works, the silver here brings a distinctly wintery presence, evoking stillness and depth.
The work invites its own question: what would it open, and where might it take you?
A threshold, a portal, or simply a feeling, it leaves space for personal reflection and the sense of being drawn towards something just beyond the visible.
