Chasing Shadows

Making visual art puts you firmly in the light business so what better way to address the main ingredient of your work than to record paths of light.


Using the studio floor to support my unstretched canvas and planning to change a daily paint application in style and colour I began rolling and dripping and pouring paint into the areas defined by the passing light. 









Each day upon entering the studio the canvas would be rotated 90 degrees clockwise at approximately the same time. The purpose being to create a record of the path of sunlight on the studio floor using paint.
