This artwork expands painting beyond the frame and into the space around it. The walls are draped with a mixture of both new and previously used canvas, bringing together past works, new material, and the architecture of the room. Large fluid brushstrokes of acrylic colour move across the surfaces, dripping and staining the canvas to connect separate fragments into one immersive environment.
The work considers painting as something that can be entered, walked around and physically experienced, and not just viewed from a distance. A sculptural structure sits within the space, made from old art shop wooden canvas stretchers, creating a contrast between the loose, flowing canvas on the walls and the rigid lines of the stretcher frame.
