Live to Tell Sculpture

This paint textile references wabi-sabi, the belief in the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and the incomplete. Open sections combine with the unravelled to throw shadows along the wall providing a contrast to the densely woven. Highly unusual and made entirely from paint this work provides an fascinating take on contemporary painting. My art practice revolves around the desire to free the paint from the canvas, providing it with a life of its own. The work is secured to a wooden framework. It is fitted with D rings and wire for immediate hanging. On the front, you will find my initials. On the back is my signature, title and, year. This painting is registered with the NRAA (National Registry for Australian Artists). Details of this registration are provided as well as a Certificate of Authenticity. THE INTERWEAVE COLLECTION  ”Weaving connections through unsupported paint.” Paintings that emulate the stunning drape of textiles. This series combines my love of craft with my passion for painting. Warp and weft threads are cut from a variety of works that exist only to be deconstructed and then reconstructed as a new whole. Finished works are made entirely from paint with no other material present.
