I was interviewed on the onefourfour project blog.  I’m cross posting it here for you all to see.

How do you describe your work to others?
Describing the visual and experiential in words is an artform in itself, but as an artist, you have to try. Put simply, I make abstract paintings large enough to step inside.  The more complex description is that I make paintings directly onto wall, floor and ceiling using my gesture and reach to make a kind of signature of my body across a space, a residue of my body having been present at some time.

This year I was asked to take part in a project with eleven other artists.  Here’s the skinny:

‘Twelve Australian female artists have been invited to participate in onefourfour which sees them create one work a month for one year.  Every artist is assigned a month to choose a theme that all the artists work to, and the results are posted on this blog at the end of each month.  The only restriction is that the work is to be 6 x 6″.’

For quite some time, I’ve been pondering the possibilities of installing work onto glass, thus having no visual barrier between the inside and the outside, but also approaching it as two-sided depending on the site.  I was pleased to be included in a recent group show at D11 @ Docklands, an ARI (Artist Run Space).

Applying large sheets of vinyl to glass without leaving creases and bubbles behind can be incredibly difficult.  Using a water sprayer liberally (very liberally) usually does the trick, but it’s still very hard especially if you’re doing it with only one pair of hands as I was.  So, like any awesome person with lactic acid flooding their arms held aloft, I enlisted the help of my head on more than one occasion.  Quite the sight, I’m sure.
