Silver and Black Form Print

The painting is enamel paint on 12oz canvas primed 5 times with acrylic gesso, the edges of the canvas are not painted and are clean so the work can be hung without a frame. This work was completed in the summer of 2018. The pattern in this work is inspired by track limit markers and curbs on race tracks, the visual signs which delineate the edge of control. The process of creating the work is as important to me as the finished image, the aim is for them at first glance to look mathematically precise but at closer inspection there can be seen incremental errors. This idea of imperfection created meticulously through a controlled process where the pursuit of perfection creates errors and the idea of the uncontrollable outcome of control interests me. My work focuses on formal and representational geometric abstraction and the application of paint to a flat surface. It is informed by the investigation of the semiotics of control and the physical forms of functional objects that assist that control. My works explore various colour and monochrome pallets
