An idea that begins with thought becomes tangible and exists through the medium of paint.
With this series of paintings I carried out mark making on several different days. The marks were composed at erratic times whenever I needed to walk through the hall where the canvas was hung. I stopped - picked an oil colour randomly and built a matrix of marks across a three week experimental period.
The aim was to place a thought that became an action expressed physically. This has been my first performance painting. What framed the piece was the relationship between passive and active time echoed within the painting.
