Artist statement about the work
The borderlines between painting, drawing and sculpture and ‘meaning’
embedded in process comprise my practice. These works constructed with everyday
newsprint are informed by my grandparent’s stories of using ‘materials at hand’
during the Great Depression. The work is expressive, preferring looseness to
control and reference my response, attachment to, and memory of objects. Mock Abstraction, 2015, takes its form from
abstract painting, but due to the uncontrollable nature of the media it appears
‘not quite right’ – a comment about Painting. Block Crinkle, 2015, similarly takes its form from an abandoned deflated
soccer ball I found – no longer useful.
