Mixed media on board. 101 x 83 x 3 cm (framed)
I did a series of paintings connecting the idea of ambiguity and the need for us to find familiarity.
When a viewer looks at a piece of art work that is abstract or that they don't understand they create a connection by finding shape they relate to in order to feel more secure. I often hear "look there’s an eye", or "I can see a face in it" - this is known as Pariedola. I often connect the to this idea when i'm out walking in woodlands or on the many beaches near my house in Cornwall. I can envision sculptures that echo the human form in groups of boulders or the crevices of a cliff or the trunks and limbs of trees.
Materials + Care
For original paintings: painted on canvas or board using acrylic, resin or mixed media. Hang away from direct sunlight and damp. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Do not clean with water or solvents. For canvas prints: printed on a poly-cotton blend canvas with a matte/satin finish, scratch, crack and warp resistant. Wipe gently with a barely damp cloth if needed. For paper prints: printed on premium fine art paper. Handle with care — avoid moisture and direct sunlight to preserve colours.
