Future Projects / Exhibitions / New Work

“My practice is constantly evolving. Moving between painting, photography and sculpture, I am finding with time the transition between the three genres is becoming more fluid as subject and medium can overlap.

The genesis of a new series, BRIDGE AND FLOW, emerged from collecting the overspill of impasto paint from large canvases. Drying the paint, twisting, and molding it, creating an element that forms part of my sculptural works. Taking it a step further I intentionally spill and pour paint in large quantities on flat surfaces; when dry I peel and fold it. Incorporated with the manipulated paint is cotton rag paper that I dye, dry, and resin to create a stable base.

These artworks I believe have a natural, organic flow to them and to this point have been indoor pieces as wall or floor works. They may in time evolve and be placed externally taking on an ephemeral existence and subsequent demise.

I am developing works that can be situated on a wall or column and extending, giving the impression of slipping and sliding down to a flat surface, and then bleeding out and ‘blooming’.

I see the works as steppingstones in a body of water, migrating through one existence and on to the next. Titles of past works reflect this ‘Look Back, ‘Jumped Ship to a Better Place’, ‘Puddle’ and ‘Narcissus’s Swamp’. Layers of medium are heavily populated with tiny dots, a reflection of humanity and the masses.” – Rebecca Pierce
