Black Hole transition, 50x40cm, Acrylic & metallic paint on Velvet. This painting was made on Black Velvet because I wanted to find the darkest black, even though I used the blackest black paint as well, nothing is darker than black velvet. I also used a black gloss household paint that was mixed with metallic paint, it keeps the light moving constantly, while the light is completely absorbed by the velvet.
I am a painter and I use paint to capture the light, I am currently using the colour gold as it reflects the light, and black as it is a great spacious colour, almost like a void. The paintings are never static as they are interacting with patterns and symbols on the surface of the painting. As the series develops the shapes are too, I started with two dimensions, now I am painting three dimensions and feel there more dimensions to explore! The light causes structure to appear and disappear. The viewer has the desire to fix the now into an organised pattern, but the light shifts constantly expressing the inevitability of change.
