October Painting

Utilising varying processes and materials to immerse the viewer within ideas relating to Aquatic realm and to draw the viewer to issues relating to it. Working on stretchers varying from large to intimate, making gestural marks, manipulating paint, making repeat patterns, screen print and the addition of harder-edge graphic elements, the work is highly energetic, flowing and at times chaotic. It incorporates various transparent substrates such as acetate, films, tapes and polythene as an alternative to the more traditional materials. These transparent layering elements make reference to processes involved in the construction of surfboards and to the translucency of the sea itself. With each overlay of paint, I am creating ‘paint things’, concentrated objects that populate the space, each working as individual compositional elements within the gallery space. They add scale, presence and proportion, giving the work a dynamic and immersive quality. The work invites active engagement by placing the viewer into my world, attempting to give an insight into my fascination with painting and making and, ultimately, the sea.
