So the final strokes of paint at uni. Five years of making work have as an undergraduate have ended with a swoop of neon red oil glaze.
One of the first projects I stumbled though in 2007 was to work with a narrative inspired by objects. I tried to recall some my earliest visual memories. Aged five, I was deeply impacted by a huge shimmering, glossy, saturated red monochrome surface. The gable end wall of a house covered in the red leaves of virginia creeper.
Other experiences around the same time, the feel and colour of certain fabric, colour, places, smells and music are early touchpoints that began a personal sensory palette or chord scale that I now play.
