Description
Using memory as a tool to my art, I have been exploring and researching narrative of memory, traces of past histories and the layers and surface that remain left behind.
Exploring lines of directions and forms and colours, a way to abstract my paintings.
The painting of TRACES comes from a larger work of painting that I was working on in my studio in college. Paint physically left behind on brushes and tape and rags, placed on a canvas to create something new and exciting. The use of sweeping brush strokes and saturated colours. Subtracting paint with turpentine to interchange with the traces and marks and colour left behind. This was an experimentation of methods and materials to manipulate the outcome and to differ from the original painting from which my materials originated.
