±Plus/Minus project, Sweden

 

End of bucket……..

Its interesting what left-overs can make.

This is what was left after a pour, I think it makes interesting viewing where the remainders can be the work.

Questioning the idea of what is paint/painting is it captured in the use of paint,

does its materiality can it indeed exist as an element on its own????

Melting Ice

Here are melting Ice Lollies that were forgotten in the freezer.

I really like the melting stage when the ice becomes clear or is clearing hust on the verge of meltdown….. and the reflexions  that  can be seen  illustrating the surrounds!

±PLUS/MINUS – practicing for the cold

Here is a practice run for what I would like to do for the ±PLUS/MINUS project in Sweden. Coming to your screens soon via d’internet……

The commission for Waterford County Community Forum, November 2006

This piece which was commissioned by the County Waterford Community Forum committee and kindly sponsored by WLR FM for the overall winners:

County Council Waterford – Community Forum Awards – 2006

Here are some close up photos of the final piece

When will it all end!

the concept/title is easy    WHEN WILL IT ALL END

This title for a show (hopefully to happen next year), was born from a late night conversation with my good friend Stephanie (Sticky) Hough about life and the perception that some people have of the external forces e.g. the weather.  The title can be taken on its negative or positive reflection to life, and is the madness that we call the modern world all that its about…

This piece was just made the next day in studio to symbolize the hopefully return to normality ….. and absolutely mad notion but the idea of returning to simpler life with out the need for commercialism etc. must be other peoples idea of perfection

Paintfall II, 2005 (still continuing)

 

 

Trying to get a glass effect????

more newly poured paint.

Influenced by Richter

This came from a curiosity of how Richter made his abstract paintings without getting all the colours mixed and muddy… it was an interesting project, but of course me being me I had to add a few more substances into the painting to see what different reactions/textures could be made.

Sorry the photo don’t do them justice, but I can say (well from my brief experience), the technique that Richter uses ain’t as easy as it looks!)
