Grow, Spill, Wrap Reveal
Grow, Spill, Wrap, Reveal is an ongoing series considering the life cycles of nature, objects, and the people around us. All of the elements in these pieces tell a story of what they were before they became paintings. The colours and pigments come from plant and mineral sources, both wild foraged and cultivated. The textiles are all repurposed materials, sometimes coming from unknown and imagined beginnings, and at other times coming from friends, family and community members. Complexity is built and connections are formed through sewn and repurposed canvas, naturally dyed textiles, and layered inks.These pieces demonstrate the often overlooked ways in which we’re connected to the world around us, and showcase the importance of working within a circular economy. They are also vaguely tongue in cheek, highlighting the fact that the things we discard are almost never really gone.
