This piece is made up of both acrylic paint and paper on plywood. The variety of materials and thickness of paint adds to the textures and tactile quality of the work. The wood has a 3cm backing which gives it a substantial, physical feel but it is lightweight so it can be hung easily. The paper included in the piece is protected with a layer of Liquitex which will increase the longevity of the work and stop the paper from ageing. 

The imagery within the work was influenced by a recent trip to Japan. I was inspired by the tiles, pastel colours and geometry of the contemporary architecture in Tokyo and Hiroshima. Throughout my trip I also came across many stationary stores where beautiful paper in a variety of patterns, colours and textures was sold. I incorporated the paper I gathered into this fictional landscape to try and create sense of the things I saw and experienced.

Mairi Timoney is an artist living and working in Edinburgh. She studied painting at Edinburgh College of Art and at Le Ecole Superieure Des Arts Decoratifs in Strasbourg, France. Since graduating Mairi has continued to make and exhibit work in both group and solo shows. She has shown work in The Whitechapel Gallery in London, The National Gallery of Modern Art and The Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh. She was selected as one of 11 artists to invest in by Saatchi Art and was awarded the Edinburgh University Barnson Bequest Award. Mairi is interested in collecting imagery and materials from various sources to piece together visuals which are aesthetically and compositionally engaging. She enjoys using the juxtaposition of different media to consider surface, space, pattern and colour whilst the overlaying imagery, both found and personal, allows her to explore her interest in place and narrative. The fragmented landscapes which appear in her work come from an attraction to unfamiliar surroundings, quiet landscapes, architecture and the lives and stories of the people that inhabit these spaces.
