On Another Ground

Whilst working at the intersection of print, drawing and sculpture, I combine different processes. In doing so, I construct work through the strategy of tinkering, by combining and alternating methods in order to perceive what happens when materials are used unconventionally, for instance by applying different materials to printmaking processes. It is a constant search for the balance of when to intervene or when to let go and allow for the unexpected to happen, for materials to take over, whilst feeding back to the initial idea of the project and indicating a sense of painterly or sculptural logic. The series shown at Blank100 aims to communicate on an intuitive, non-verbal level by encapsulating complex emotions within forms, strokes and colours.

These works are based on my observations of the formation of groups, and social clustering. The works use a variety of media to create a visual suggestion of the complexities of society. Layers blur, embossing and debossing alternate, illustrating the intricate and labyrinthine nature of interaction within society, the space in which convergence and organization take place.
