‘Paintings without paint’
Since 2011, my way with collage I named ‘fabric layerism’ has evolved further into a distinctive niche, eloquently suiting that term, where the medium of paint has been completely omitted. This further challenges and expands the definition of what is ‘painting’, what is ‘collage’ and what is ‘drawing’ ..I support that they are all one and the same thing, as abstract compositions of any medium on a two dimensional surface..There is also the ‘sculptural’ aspect with use of the scissors to cut the fabrics….This series of pictures from that time, displayed below, are made entirely from layered fabrics, pva glue,photographic collage, various minimal drawing media and a few found objects…These latest developments have enabled me even more depth of expression and feeling with this unique convergence of collage and textile art.
In recent years my portrayal of the feminine form has become strongly influenced by contemporary women artists depicting the female (and male!) form and body positivity, hence working towards a new culture, moving away from the lopsided male gaze based figure art of previous eras to a more equal and interesting culture of female/male/diverse genders gaze of this beautiful and ancient subject in art.
