The initial procedure for this painting is the fragmentation of an overpainted advertisement for a museum. The painting is built on contradictions that arise from the decontextualization of art into a commercial product and back again into a painting at a semantic and syntactic level. Using a refined process of building and removing layer upon layer of oil and pigmented inkjet prints on canvas, the work suggests a complex geology; it tells us that there is something behind but denies our access to it. Puddles and washes convey a refracted, dreamlike sensibility, while almost recognisable images emerge and dissolve against the fluid ground, a purely abstract fabrication boldly exposing its own construction.
