My aim was to create something palpable, a solid, unifying experience for the viewer; from the transiency of a memory or sense.
The project before you is an examination of the senses and their links to memory. A hanging canvas drips paint sporadically; the droplets reach the surface below, to leave a scarring mark. Colours symbolise the phenomenon ‘Prisoners cinema’ reincarnated as a vivid mixture of paint and glue, and the surface is a memory slowly being altered and distorted by these new experiences.
My influences for this included different mediums of working until I finally decided on an installation. The intention was to bring a common personal experience and to be shared and familiarised by all who see it. You will witness its creation and death, until the moment they separate to become distinct images a dry canvas, and a dry painting.
From artists such as Robert Morris, I have utilised the moment of controlled chaos. His organised time management was key, rather than setting a specific ‘falling’ time I have decided to leave it totally up to the canvas of course I can control many variables (viscosity and fabric) but the ultimate control is left to the installation.
Finished works -
Durin the process -
Pour 2 parts glue 1 part dye onto stretched muslin and allow to drip through.
-
This took varying times to drip, but could be altered by making the solution with more water.
-
Balance above paper conduet. Ensure the dripping frame is secure when placin across the back of 2 chairs.
