Spectre of freedom

The disruption of the surface through folds. A colour field made angular and pointy.

I sometimes feel they should become flat paintings rather than painting-sculptures, deploying the artifice of trompe-l'oeil to fool the eye. But it's flat now on a screen; the real object more interesting up close.

The idea of flattening these out to an illusionary spectre is less exciting, particularly as far as process is concerned.

There is a tension expressed in this work that explores the essence of conformity versus freedom. The work wants to be unraveled, it's original rectangular boundaries disrupted and contorted as the initial established colour field ties to break free.
