Swimming in the Dark

These are a few close up shots of my first finished canvas. Using the window cleaner, I managed to get the heavy moulding paint to lie smoothly onto the wooden box canvas. I decided not to layer the text, and instead let it read, for the text in itself is obscured by memory blanks and a disjointed recall. For this particular canvas, I did not plan how I was going to impress the text, instead I subconsciously let the direction flow across the canvas. I plan to paint even the back of the canvas white, and install this canvas along with a second one, inside my exhibition space with my film. I feel that in both pieces of work, I am exploring disjunction and separation in different forms, and thus hopefully the two will compliment each other as an installation.
