Objects in painting 2.

A series of 3. These pieces were done after I had watched a video interview of Lynda Benglis talking about her process. Being an outspoken feminist, Benglis says that while mixing her paints she feels a strong connection and similarity to cookery...as a reaction to this, I began filling clear plastic bowls and tubs with paint. I allow the paint to spill and flow over the restrictions of the containers. The paint dries in layers, the outer layers dry, trapping the under-layers. These pieces were then placed on plinths, encouraging and inviting the viewer to investigate closely.
