Used Muslin fabric on the surface giving it a tactile feel and a delicate atmospheric
This original painting belongs to my life enlarged series exploring the tiny minutiae of life and objects. In this artwork I over-enlarged patterns found in the weave of fabric and re-shaped it into an ambiguous space. I manipulated the repetitious lines to give the image a feeling of being weightless and floating almost like fishing nets drifting in the ebb and flow of the ocean. Something fragile, dainty but also a little mysterious.
I loved making this artwork and I hope you enjoy it too.

This painting belongs to my life enlarged series and again looks at the tiny minutiae of life and objects, what is real but cannot be seen with normal sight.
In this series I enlarged particles of cloth to reveal the grid-like patterns created from the fabric weave. Using my materials and my mark making quite primitively I worked to break up the formality of the grid pattern to give it the feeling of light and being weightless, immaterial. Repeating the gestural mark making over and over in layers and layers I sought to form a kind of vibration, rhythm and dance across the surface. I wanted the painting to be a boundless shimmer of light and air, sublime and beautiful.
