Unfolding paint

May 5, 2009

Unfolding is a piece of paint that has been rolled up and photographed as it unrolls itself, as it does so it develops relationships to video (from the recording), performance (the movement), sculptural (time-based and 3deminsionality) …
This is part of my investigation into how paint can cross different disciplines. Does this relationship change when layers of difference are added?

Its hard to properly express my work as images/ photographs. These images I do think come near to  expressing the sculptural paint quality of my artwork.

Wall Drip

How big does a drip have to be to be out of context, or even to make sense???

Well here is some I’ve prepared earlier lost in studio on the far reaches of Cork city.

Does each individual drip make up the whole which is the big drip or does the it resemble a drip at all.

If you happen to have an answer for some of these questions please do leave a comment at the end of this new section
