Through the viewed experience and considered through indices of the very materials that form the physical construct of the artwork. My art practice continues to engage a dialogue where the actual material can be a record to its development through the process of making. Further to explore making artworks without the finite distinctions of a set or fixed resolved artwork rather a continuum of projects that present artworks as variables to a process. A process examined intuitively through the unpredictability and chance elements of the materials I use to make my artworks. This I hope to achieve through the simple use of material, a reductive format and duration, qualities that set the actual artwork through the impermanence of its setting and the vulnerability of it's material form.
I prefer my artwork to be considered as a process of thought and temporal experience rather than solid object.
The following are a few example images of the current body of work shown in progress which I would like to open as the next studio show in about a months time. The title of this show I am working on is MARKING TIME.
In forethought these preliminary works show how the geometric abstract is now a feature to a body of work rather than a dominant factor. It also highlights how the geometric aspect has become reflexive to a construct of space and time, through a modern environment whilst directing the viewers attentions to material process.
The use of adhesive tape mimics and further directs a discourse that questions the painted mark, the adhesive tape creates a volume, reveals the act of making and represents a mass produced generic product into an art context which for me is the most interesting aspect of my work and one that I direct my practice toward.
