Transfer prints and acrylic paint on wood panel
h: 25 w: 20 d: 2 (cms).
This work is constructed through layers of transfer prints, collage and acrylic paint on wood panel. Fragments are digitally reworked, cut and reassembled before being transferred into wet paint. With a rubbing technique, parts of the image disintegrate, leaving behind scattered traces that are subsequently repainted, repaired and reassembled. The composition moves between landscape and figuration. Bands of colour suggest earth, sky and horizon, while broken lines and fragments hint at bodies that are partially present yet continually dissolving. The surface records the physical labour of its making with areas of abrasion, lifted edges, and small pieces that have been carefully reattached. Disturbance and reconstruction are central to the image’s formation. The transfer process wounds the surface, and paint is then applied sparingly with the hand, almost like an ointment, calming the abrasions and allowing the fractured image to settle into a fragile but coherent whole.
