Experimentation with Heavy Moulding Paint

After experimenting with embossing wallpaper with metal letter punches and MDF, I researched exactly what medium Idris Khan used in his piece, 'Untitled, White on white' from the Conflicting Lines Exhibition. I then began experimenting with a mixture of heavy moulding paint and white acrylic after it was half dried onto a canvas, and used metal letter punches to make textual impressions. The text I was using was a version of my memories that I had typed out over and over again, and thus my thinking behind this was that the viewer could touch a memory; evoking a strange paradox between stable and unstable.

I found the process of stamping the metal letter punches into the drying mixture much more time effective than the wall paper. Initially, I experimented on MDF, and then went on to use wooden box canvases.
