The Pods.

The birth of ‘Pods’ began outside this gallery. I was sat on the ground pushing paint around a sheet of paper and it began to rain. I watched as the drops gradually saturated the paper. Deliberately I allowed myself an ‘absence of mind’ where nothing else existed apart from the behaviour of the water on the painting. Then without thinking I picked it up and screwed it into a ball. The physicality of the paper reaching it’s limits of cohesion meshed with the streaking paint was wonderfully satisfying. At that point I knew I had found my material, my ‘something’.
The ‘minumentals’ within the pods are a continuation of existing work; they question the importance of size in art, as well as being part of my ‘inarticulate forms’. Instinct brought them together.
The remaining narrative belongs with the viewer, my ‘someone’.
