I am so pleased to be exhibiting my work Laplace (2018) as part of SURFACE online curated by David Cass for Projectroom2020 Link in bio.

‘I definitely felt the presence of history and time whilst making this piece. The erosion of the wall, the green algae growing in the corner, the rusted nails, all had to be taken into consideration - I had to think how I would undercut these features so that the latex would peel well. It’s a risk, as you never know what you are going to get, as so little is visible till the end till the end. It disappears during the making.
A Laplace Transform is a mathematical description of the process that a system performs over time. Throughout the process of installation, the layering of the material upon the wall mimicked the rhythm of the brick structure itself and I became part of the system.  Whilst on the scaffold during the work I thought “who built these walls and has anyone been in such intimate contact with this surface but me since then?”. There’s an element to creating to the work that is labour intensive and repetitive - my movements shadowing what has gone before.  I almost felt that as I was painting I was tracing their imprint as much as the wall’s. Perhaps that is where the other dimension lies - in the disappearing of time.
I have used latex in much of my work both in the studio and in site-specific residencies for a number of years introduced and influenced through the works of Eva Hesse, Robert Overby and Heidi Bucher’.
