Oil on Yupo
45 x 64 cm

These works are experimentations in oil; exploring consistencies, stroke and the unintuitive mark-making that emerges when oil and spirits meld. Pouring liquid, stretching surfaces around pooling pigment. The surface is Yupo Paper, an interesting synthetic recyclable material which is completely waterproof. Without the ability to absorb into the surface the pigment is left behind after the evaporation process. This creates thin veil-like layers which can blend and bend across the page, gathering and depositing hues and tones as it rolls. The final drying process appears to suspend the colour between solid and liquid revealing four distinct vistas.
