String Series: Halo

A new painting in my current body of work, the String Series, where line, colour and movement are the focus of these canvases. A long but satisfying process of using string to print colours overlaying each other. Several blanket coats of paint are applied in between and the sander then comes out! Juxtaposition creates dynamism and movement. A vibrant piece for your lounge or bedroom with endless interest for the eye.

"I like to connect emotionally with the viewer through either the conceptual message or more abstractly the colour and line I paint. I have been exploring the emotion of printed line through the String Series body of work. Using acrylic paint on shoelace/string/twine/rope I create mood using the colours and the part random/part controlled line the string prints as I guide it down onto the canvas. "
