Open System
> Made from folded pieces of paper, printed with macro photographs of painterly marks taken around artists studios and from the finished works of other artists as well as my own. > The irregular polygon is made from so-called sonobo units that slot together without glue. It is deliberately left open to suggest that ever more units could be added. > It is both a regular and an irregular structure, struggling to hold its own weight. To me it’s a symbol of the contemporary state of painting: slightly unruly, an accretion of history as old as humanity, with some openings still, a strange anxious beauty.
