Kathryn Raffell, The Birds, 2015, Mixed medium on Canvas,50cmx40cm.
This idea was about adding layers to a base canvas. I added paint, tissue paper, wallpaper and selotape strips (these I peeled away to leave the white strips across the surface). Using sandpaper to scrub away at the top surface it revealed the under-layers. There was no planning but a random decision as to which pieces of the surface I removed. This was a peel and see process, stopping and thinking about the aesthetics of the remaining image. It may be finished but it may not.
