Fine Arts

By exploring the capabilities and materiality of paint, I became fascinated with the solidity of it once it’s dry. I began to contemplate paint as being sculptural, and as an extension or growth to already existing objects.

By pouring onto objects, or dipping them into paint, the result was a series of pieces extending beyond their original forms, allowing them to be considered as entirely new items. The use of colour in my work became a way to emphasize the fluidity of the pouring process; the various colours of paint collide with the shapes and edges of each structure and create naturally formed lines that spill beyond the object, eventually hardening and creating its new form. I experimented with using moulds such as ice cube trays and balloons so that when the mould is removed, or the balloon pops or deflates; the dried paint remains as its own sculptural piece.
