PAINTFALL III
Image of work in situ at the CRAWFORD GALLERY.
This piece is in a series where I am exploring ‘the pour’ as an element that has connections to geographical formation and then in turn has an automatic relationship to humanity’s development. In this work I have not built up the surface, in contrast to PaintFall I & II.
How the materials I am using (liquid acrylic pigment and PVA) are water based, though they are synthetic and a first cousin to the combination that makes up plastic, they break down and are able to mix with water which covers 2/3 of the world. Oil paint can’t, weird – sorry I have spent to much time thinking on this.
