Mmm… convergence or divergence? a good prompt for a post, thank you David Riley for your comment.
My painting activity at Angelika involves converging points. Elements coming in from different directions, both formally and from source. I’m letting them in and taking their lead. I plan to move these canvasses down the road to the uni studio to work on them there next week. I don’t want there to be a divide between the two spaces.
The work I started at uni has a divergent character. Two canvases begun in the same manner, side by side. The concertina sketchbook shares the same first step and then I have decided to activate the same decision in the book as on the canvas but translate it differently. As the two canvases develop I expect the 17 pairs of pages will also take a other directions. So many things happen on the canvas during painting slipping between the layers. I am interested in the ‘Sliding Doors‘ question and wonder myself what might happen.
