Action Black is a series that explores how living moments can be captured and expressed through abstract painting.
The relationship between the material and conceptual elements is a processes that is key to the realisation of the work. Glossy black paint is applied to vinyl flooring and exposed to different, often 1-day, experiences. This initial experience stage in the process I call ‘Mayfly’. These experiences vary and the painted flooring has been used in fahsion shows, protests, club events, string quartet performances and more, before entering a metamorphosis, where I strip the paint from the vinyl flooring and create the abstract compositions that I call Action Black.
