marks made suggesting an object of figurative nature embedded in static Painting

'marks made suggesting an object of figurative nature embedded in static' is a meditation on the mind trying to grasp hold of images in the subconscious, unclear images that begin to appear when considering the creation of a painting; images that are not clear or defined. In this case the meditation on images in the mind, to create abstract painting from, is influenced by listening to ambient and drone sound-scapes, a music form where melody and meter are undefined, sound waves hinting at something defined that seems always out of reach, buried under layers of sound and static. It is the emerging of something out of the fog, out of the static background sound. It in many ways is the beginning of a return to making paintings that are connected to dilapidating, corroding, oxidizing materials in the urban environment. The coloring reminiscent of concrete and sand. The black similar to staining by rain water and hot summer humidity on concrete. Returning to where the early paintings had begun; out of my interest in dust particles created from the crumbling surfaces of corroding materials such as concrete, plaster and rusting metal. Marks and splatters of spray from spray caned graffiti also became a point of reference. The painting was made by placing stretched canvas on the floor. A brush is loaded with paint and then tapped gently above the canvas to give a spray effect; the surface becoming made up of small dots and splashes of paint; giving a little surface texture. Layers of paint are applied one at a time; wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry depending on texture and visual effect desired. Each layer is of a differing tonal value. Each painting is made with as limited pallet of hues as possible. Painting is signed dated and titled on rear. The painting is ready to hang.
