Notes on my work

different pieces reflect and absorb light - white reflects most light, black absorbs almost all light
process led abstraction
linear and geometrical marks (drips, bubblewrap, lines across entire work) contrast the gestural flowing brush strokes
concept of time
layering
texture created by different components reacting
works on board and perspex - not canvas
toy with negative space
reflect the artists hand
work is about painting itself
physical limitations of paint
interest in form, material, colour
vibrant and busy results
colours activated by the different artificial/natural light - lights/window
my work takes it back to the bare idea of mark making and painting itself
bold decision making, brave
substantial body of paintings
time and authorship
marks manipulate the surface without actually physically changing it
challenge the properties of the materials
viewer becomes part of the work - mirror and reflective nature of gloss
