SUNDRIED EARTH
Inspired by earth textures, I work with pigments, ash, sand, inks, crushed and powdered stone to create a tactile experience.
A Fistful of Sundried Earth.
Power of pigments 2023
I enjoy the process of making my own paints and discovering the way the pigments react with different binders. Pigments give me flexibility.
Painting with the ocean 2022
in the warm tropical waters on the shores of Taprobane
I painted underwater with oilpaints and gloved hands.
I rubbed raw canvasses on the ocean-bed, then applied pigments and medium onto them, rolled them tightly and tethered them onto the rocks, leaving them overnight at the mercy of the waves, drying them on the rocks the next day, I repeated this process many times until I deemed them "finished". I loved seeing the iguana family visit them early in the morning for a group crit, before they ambled off to find juicy earthworms for breakfast.
