Water colour, acrylic & rain on canvas
900mm (H) x 900mm (W) 40mm (D)
In this work I am exploring materiality at play with random forces of Nature. This work was left overnight 'en plein air' in the subtropical rainforest of the Waitakere Ranges. Because of the high altitude of 330m the work was shrouded in clouds which causes a very gentle, glacial eroding of the paint.
I am interested in the elimination of artistic agency in favour of a self organising ideographic language, going beyond the personal gestural act and expression of self.
