ACRYLIC & CARVING ON BLACK PAPER, ORIGINAL ARTWORK
42 x 52 - (48 x 58cm Framed). Framed in black stained ash with ArtGlass
The inspiration for this piece, alongside 'Wishing For More Time II', 'The Fascination of Evolution' and 'The Passing of Distance and Time' all being checkerboard I think came to me because of my enjoyment of repetitive patterns and my love for geometric shapes. The checkerboard kept flashing up in my head, so I knew I had to get it out and into my work.
With these I wanted the checker to be fluid and have movement like water or fabric, indicating the continual flow and change over time. The more time you have, the more things evolve. I knew I wanted to contrast the painted elements with linear carvings on the plain paper sections. These reinforce the repeating over and over of checker, again coming back to that meditative thought process.
The black paper added an additional element, I wanted to keep the pieces dark, so adding the conventional white to the checkerboard wasn’t an option; I needed to go darker. I decided a deeper black with a high gloss finish felt right for the pieces - subtle and low contrast but clearly visible. These pieces are playful but maintain their elegance through the all black palette.
