INTERLOCK – turquoise/black, Angel Row Gallery, Nottingham

The large bands of black and turquoise were painted directly on to the gallery wall. The work gave the viewer a heightened awareness of the space. The white bands set up a connection with the columns, the reflections on the floor adding to the experience. The simple blocks of colour created a visual tension as they interlocked, pulling away from the corner.
