How can I fuse painting with printmaking successfully? How can I combine painting, printmaking and textiles?
I think I have been heading along this highway for years and years now and still haven't arrived at my destination. My recent practice encompasses adhering intaglio works on paper to canvas and hand inking and playing with surface texture utilising a variety of paints and mediums. I love space on the picture plane. I love surface texture and also smooth, flat areas to allow other forms and visually interesting spaces to breathe. I love simplicity and images that hum into their own vibration. Often I love pictures that are not figurative or realistic in any way. I like how the mind can react to a colour, texture or gesture and fill in the gaps to create its own narrative.
With the arrival today of my new GOLDEN acrylic paints and mediums, I am hoping to push the boundaries even further. I am introducing a more vivid colour palette. For the next few months I will simply explore colour, paint and brush techniques and add these new findings to my practice. Along the way, investigating time, environment, and my relationship to nature in these changing times.
