For this collage I started with an A4-size trimmed piece of backing paper salvaged from a paint-smeared sheet of protective material previously covering my studio worktop. I used to throw away these used sheets, but now regard them as another source of ephemera. Initially commercially printed papers were added at 90° to keep a ‘grid’ and then for the first time with my collages I used a tactile texture… squares cut from randomly woven rolls of black and straw-coloured gauze-like material bought from a craft shop. Although I have tried to keep a grid-like structure to the composition, the original black brushstrokes on the background persuaded me to add further red and yellow, and later blue and white, touches of acrylic paint using both a brush and paper tissues.
