Sub

2011

Exhibition at Hardware Gallery, Sydney

A good way to describe Sub is to quote an excerpt from the Artist Statement from my 2013 exhibition, She Dreams of Liberation:

‘It’s the decade after the turn of the century; I’m now living in Sydney and have developed the ‘thoughtless’ painting process further by using found canvases. After blanking them out with an opaque wash I then work in the usual way: thoughtlessly, creating and destroying.  My next show, Sub, at the Hardware Gallery in 2011, includes seven new thoughtless paintings made post 2000 and several key works from the London period, including 1993. (Later called Three Snakes.) As I write in the catalogue for Sub: ‘It has struck me that many of the most interesting and important marks in these last paintings were not made by me’.
