The Spring in you Painting

The idea for this painting on glass evolved during self isolation with the increased virtual and digital interactions. Explorations of the world was limited to virtual and my attention was drawn to a mirrored image of myself on the face of my digital screen that became part of the image. This idea of self reflection mirroring the physical inspired experimentation with glass. For me it was a natural progression from computer painting and the process of reverse painting offered a great sense of freedom and excitement of exploring a new media. My exhibition Face to Face is the outcome of my explorations of abstract compositions, pattern, colour, mark making and spatial elements. I love the way the glass reflects the surroundings in this work and external elements that face the painting catch the light that projects on to the glass and become part of the surface of the work; adding a spatial element to the painting.
