IDEAS
- Cover canvas with Paynes Grey and invite viewer to participate by sanding parts of the surface and revealing parts of the base work.
- “wrap” the large canvas in polywrap and tape and invite viewers to tear away pieces of the covering during the Degree Show and reveal parts of the painting underneath.
- Put a piece of work into a glazed frame, paint the glass and invite the viewer to scratch away the paint to reveal work underneath. “scratch & reveal”.
These ideas of new work is moving towards abstract contemporary work. It is me responding to the portraits appearance and using a new process for me, obscure and disguise, a locking in and then extracting.
