In his current solo exhibition, Black & Blue at Larkin Durey, Hajallie grapples with the devastating stillbirth of his daughter and the "indescribable emotions that sit beneath language," says the gallery. For this show, the artist deliberately switched from using black ballpoint ink to blue. As he made these works, Hajallie also reflected on the loss of his sister four years ago.

'While each time we slip into sleep, it is a rehearsal for death - a journey beyond the body,' the artist reflects.
