Colour is something that I believe will always play a significant part in my work. This set of works have been heavily inspired by Klari Reis's colourful petri dishes and Linda Roche's thoughts about she is interested in exploring the responses that the fluidity of paint has to offer towards a system or way of working that she has set up.
I am still at an experimental stage as I feel that my work is not yet polished and finalized. I have made these squares with the intent on being experimental that is, having an element of not knowing how things are going to turn out and setting a kind of transitional space where anything could happen. In this case, I allow the pigments of the paint to dissolve, mix or blend into one other , sometimes creating fractals and bubbles of air.
What next? Still on the line of thought towards playing with colour but maybe within a different system. I have thought about how gravity affects the way paint moves but I want to try to avoid relying on gravity and force because I would feel that my works will end up becoming fluid paintings and that is a territory that I do not want to stuck in. I am thinking about mixing paints with turps to observe a chemical reaction that may or may not take place.
