My practice is concerned with the traditional language of painting and the formal relationships of the pictorial surface. I am interested in the materiality of paint, particularly the plasticity of acrylic paint and its malleable properties. Through stages of experimentation, I've explored ways in which to remove a painting from its traditional 2-dimensional support and bring it out into the viewer’s sphere.

 

By using heat and force to manipulate the polymer within the paint (with various external considerations to humidity, temperature and pressure), I’ve created free-standing, 3-dimensional forms with mass, volume and magnitude which interact with the space around them.
