Content: For several years Geoff Yeomans pursued his interest in the representation of decay and corrosion. Particular subjects include still lifes of decomposing fruit, and the portrayal of rusting metal, particularly an old boat, referred to only as M72. His work floats between figuration and abstraction, almost as a challenge to the viewer to distinguish between the two.
