A couple of preview images of my latest work.

The work is based around ideas of repetition and deconstruction. Straight lines are scored into the painted paper with a knife tip, creating a strong white line against a dark background. The simple yet repetitive act of ruling hundreds of  lines echoes the process of meditation – out of a a simple act repeated can arise something beautiful.

With each line the painted paper is partly stripped back to bare paper, or scored even deeper, revealing the structure of the paper. It could also be said that in this way meditation has an effect on the psyche/soul.
