I’ve been working away quietly on a new body of work developed following my residency with the .
Ive always wanted to take my work beyond the boundaries of a piece of paper or panel. In the past ive physically taken original paintings outside, taken reproductions into woods and created work to be exhibited outside.
But the work always felt separate... distinct... from the world around it. I wanted to find a way to make beautiful detailed paintings and drawings that blend with a space, work with it, collaborate with it as an end product.
After lots of experimentation, I settled on chiffon. A material id used a lot in a previous life where I made clothes and costumes. Originally pursuing a career in textile and design.
I love chiffon, but its hard to work with and I'm still learning how to draw on it to get the effects I want. I have a long way to go but I've not felt this excited ir challenged for a long time. Something new, something scary, something I'm continually failing at day after day, but I'm also learning, succeeding, and having fun...
These pieces will be Installed within the glasshouses, the works invite you to look through, move around, and step into the drawing—into a space that is continually being shaped and reshaped.
Opening 16 June and running throughout the summer in the glasshouses!
