From press release:
This new work, made through an intuitive and playful process of pouring, piping and squidding, akin to cookery or amateur cake decorating, allows materials to take control at a molecular level, compressing and coming into, rather than onto the surface.
Made in reverse and partially blind, semi-viscous liquids slowly or rapidly congeal to agree upon a form that sits somewhere between painting, sculpture and fresco. These surfaces hang proud of the wall, as if excavated from a slice of agate or ancient tablet.
