'Only Just Begun' was a solo exhibition at Factory 49 of paintings and paper and cardboard works. All of the works were derived from my paintings of squares and circles that I have been calling
'One & the Same'.
The painting consisted of 16 panels on which the small square and circle motifs were enlarged and broken up over separate canvas; the paper work did the same thing, but was constructed from cut out coloured pieces of paper, and the cardboard works played with a range of possibilities using shape and colour.
Each work is constructed from a random layering of elements, with the panels being hung in a random (grid) arrangement - each hanging could see the pieces being arranged in a different order, yet the result would probably appear much the same...
From the catalogue -
On the surface it would seem that making paintings that only
consist of circles and squares would be very limiting – seen one, you’ve seen
them all. But then you change the
colours, change dimensions, play around with materials – the permutations
within the boundaries are limitless – we’ve only just begun...
