Mysteries Seventeen

2016
Underpinned by the obvious use of paint as the substance from which meaning emerges, this is the seventeenth in a series that responds to 2000-year-old wall painting. It plays with the idea of eroded, patchy and apparently faded surfaces suggesting that damage can be an interesting aesthetic in itself and in this painting taking over.
It is a response to the complex visual stimulus of Roman painting in situ.
