The concept piece ‘Always, In All Ways’ 60cmx60cm, Acrylic and Recycled Plastic Water Bottle Hearts on Canvas, a tad wayward. I started from the centre of the canvas to ensure geometric balance, but didn’t allow for the ‘bend’ in the plastic that pushes everything off-centre. Visually, it has the impact with its neon-pink hearts, but it still feels underwhelming.
Perhaps, 4 equally sized canvases? A final work 1,2mx1,2m with 900 hearts. I will have to make the same measurement error in a mirror-image. Disaster waiting!
Drawing inspiration from Yayoi Kusama’s repeating patterns. The neon pink, a reflection on healing after a traumatic few years. In my case the freshly healed skin after my staircase fall on Christmas Day that left me in ICU.
