Stripping Back Layers. Plaster. Old Wallpaper. Paint.

Taking away layers stripping back identity to get to the essence of something

 

 

is much more interesting to me than creating something recognizable

 

 

As a child I was more interested in pulling things apart to investigate the material it was made from

 

 

I then went further and tried to destroy the material scratching into it to get back the original source

 

 

I still do that today in all my work

 

 

experimenting with layers of paint plaster found papers antique french print vintage wallpapers and ink

 

 

pulling apart scratching tearing and ripping
