Thinking about the purpose of a surface continued / took a full circle, during the Unite Residency, where I revisited the idea of the painted wall having a function in society. Links were clearly developing between the work and research from my show A Template For Application at g39, (where I explored the Quaker experiment of colour washing the walls of the town of Bryn Mawr) and the research as part of the residency / A-N Bursary.
The red painting on this building at St Fagans Museum is particularly interesting, as it was thought the colour warded off evil spirits.
