‘Fountain’ is a new series of works that further my exploration of colour and looping tubular forms across metal surfaces. These oscillating, orbiting trajectories have a relationship to the pathways of celestial bodies, tracing out gravitationally dictated pathways across the universe.
The reduction of palette within individual works explores gentler and subtler shifts in light and hues. Through this palette stronger contrasts have been highlighted within the subtle margins of colour transitions.
The show consists primarily of brushed aluminium panels. The introduction of golden anodized aluminium shifts the surface into another sun-filled spectrum. The minimal shifting palettes within the paintings are reduced further with the two sculptures in ‘Fountain’. These individually complex forms are simplified through their monochromatic palettes which in turn speak to each other.
