The discovery of some vintage papers in a scrapbook was the starting point of creating these works. The paper has a suede-like feel and the edges are slightly discoloured with age. Each of the pieces seemed to suggest different ways of working, my approach began by applying white acrylic paint and then coloured inks after wetting the paper slightly. It took time to add each layer, patiently waiting for drying time...I have a reverence and keen interest in using asemic writing in my work - script-like marks which are unreadable but suggest ideas of text. Some of the pieces use collage elements which I have painted and cut.
These Timeless Moments pieces are titled after favourite phrases in poems by TS Eliot.
Each framed piece is matted under the papers and spacers are inside the frame to keep the glass and papers apart. Click on each image for closeup details.
