The flow properties of the paint, the forces of gravity applied and the 3D structural curves of the membrane surface have all play a part to blur the relationship between the observed flat picture plane and the sculptured reality of where the events occurred. Inspired by current scientific understanding of our universe and the way nature itself could be, Malcolm's work aims to reflect a truth about the human condition — that we are tied to a flat universe yet entangled with all its probabilities in the vastness of infinite space.

My curved 'canvases' are treated as three-dimensional objects. However, rather than approaching the relationship between solidity and space like a sculptor would, I aim to return to the "flat two-dimensional picture plane." Why is this important?

Nature loves curves. To connect as closely with nature as possible, since we are all part of the same energy, curves challenge us to move beyond linear thinking. This type of thinking often simplifies our daily decisions into straightforward cause-and-effect scenarios. In contrast, curves allow us to explore the ambiguity between the present and the future. The tension inherent in a curve, when juxtaposed with the comfort of a flat plane, invites us on a transformative, nonlinear journey. This journey encourages deeper reflection and meditation on our observations.

Since 2004, I've been evolving this aesthetic thought.
