'Molten Slinky' was the installation showpiece for my 'High Viscosity' Residency and solo exhibition at DegreeArt. It is a plywood structure painted in satin white that has seven steps with a cascading pour of deep pink and blue with accents of white, light pink, teal, and yellow. My vision for this piece was to let it flow free onto the gallery floor - with the intention it would invite the viewers into the gallery space. This piece is the largest of my series of ‘Pour Paintings’ on wood where I explore how gravity pulls highly viscous paint through holes, down multiple levels or around obstructions. The process took many months of planning and design, and once the pouring began, the paint took hours to form and weeks to dry. My work is process based and experimental in nature - I'm constantly developing ideas and adding knowledge and experience to this process along the way as I work. Using colour intuitively, I work with pours and drips to release the plastic potential of the paint, allowing gravity do its part while the colours swirl and mingle, creating designs evocative of the intricate patterns of nature. Moving away from working with the illusion of space and toward working with literal space, I construct objects that overlap two media - painting and sculpture.
