Materiality

All set up in our Studio space. A Good panel of Comedians on either side to keep the spirits lifted. ( Essential maintenance for the days when inspiration gets left behind!)

Our first Project is on Materiality. To explore materials and how they would work in a painterly fashion. Whether to paint on or paint with. I really enjoyed this and it lead me into something I was ready to explore.

I really had fun looking at Alexis Harding's work and pushing the possibilities of Gloss paint and surface qualities. This lead me to using Cling Film both on top of paint and as a surface itself.


The use of Oil based paints with Water based compounds added in to explore the end results was very informative for me. Sometimes the Skin that formed was more interesting also how long it took to fully dry and the possibilities of reshaping while setting.
