A new series of acrylic paintings that explore proportional divisions of space.

I approach these works as a sculptor, looking at formal elements of line, material and process.

I have been interested in the physical relief qualities of paint.  How by mixing small amounts with an acrylic medium it can create actual physical form.

Each painting is made by masking off an area with tape and then building up multiple layers applied with a palette knife.

The painted line becomes raised in relief from the surface, but through its translucency retains its material connection to the paper.

I have explored 2 interconnecting forms framing a void space.  Creating simple geometric divisions whilst retaining a balance of relationships.
