“This painting was created alongside ‘Nothing in Common’ so the emotional state I was in, and the inspiration for the two paintings is very similar. The painting has a very raw look and feel as I reflect on the persistence and strength of our natural landscape in comparison to the our urban man-made world. This painting is inspired by the weathering process of raw industrial materials, such as steel and concrete. The burgundy colour mirrors the rusty look of weathered steel. A relief within some circles is achieved using a cement past to reflect the industrial material. The process includes very rough sanding, and scratching into the canvas to reveal previous layers and mimic the weathering process of our environment. In this piece I’ve worked on exaggerating the resurface of history from the previous layers. As I depart from the constant presence of black circles in my work that are for me a gesture of grounding, simplicity and stability, this piece highlights the anxiety expressed in the mark making and texture of the painting.”
