Today I have trying out things for some new sculptures…
I became aware of a lack of colour in my recent work and felt that its incorporation was important to the continued development of my ideas…
Painting in my work is not just a medium, it is also the subject, it explores the possibilities of the paint as a thing in itself…
I suppose the application of the paint is an indicator of this, the intentionally uneven application of colour allows the observer to understand that the paint is not being used to colour the wood or hide it in some way, it becomes a hint of something… a suggestion.
The text piece was exploring the possibilities of incorporating language, this felt necessary as I read all the time and think constantly, analysing things I see and ideas I have. The text was intentionally obscured as I was interested in how an inability to comprehend the words would affect the viewers experience of the piece.
I have been exploring putting together different works, to create new pieces, seeing how different objects and colours work together and how a kind of assembling of different elements of my studio can create quite interesting visual objects.
