My work is about breaking the boundaries of painting: exploring colour, scale, layers and texture. I work with a very narrow colour scale of pinks and purples; in colour psychology these are positive colours representing comfort, affection and harmony. Sometimes I consciously use a pop of uncomplimentary colour to create an awkwardly interesting layer to my work. Working large scale gives me freedom to explore different techniques and create larger and bolder brushstrokes. To contrast textures, I use different types of household material from gloss paint to multi-purpose filler, also experimenting with different specialised acrylic mediums to alter the characteristics of traditional acrylic paint such as gloss medium, heavy body medium, and fine pumice. Layering is a key part of my paintings; most of my pieces begin with a layer of gestural brushstrokes, followed by systematic drips, and finally a layer of texture. The different characteristics of each layer create the depth to my work. I often create interruptions in my work. This comes in different forms such as: covering whole sections of the work, layering different pieces, cutting out sections, and folding or bending the work. My work explores the process of painting: Painting As Process.
