Artwork Description

Palimpsest (280 x 200cm)

0.0 x 0.0

This started life as a cotton bed sheet that I used as a dust sheet at work and the studio floor. I would spray paint across the surface, dark tones in one direction, light tones in the opposite. This creates an illusion of surface relief, accentuating the creases and folds of the surface with an 'shadow/highlight' effect. I then iron the sheet flat. I think it looks like a stretched animal skin or perhaps an old manuscript/map.
