The dots and various shapes in this series are created by masking the canvas from spray paint – patterns derived from grids, washers, coins, nuts, dry pasta/pulses, hand cut plaster/acetate shapes, seeds, fabrics, wire/string, lollipop sticks etc. These are combined with other methods of painting/mark making - lines, drips, flicks, colour washes, clean edged shapes, gestural swipes, dry brushing, thread and mesh imbedded into the paint surface, sanding/sponging to reveal hidden layers, blowing/drawing into wet paint with air from a compressor.
