has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
Because of the ghostlike quality of this painting some of its intricacies were difficult to photograph. In this detail you can see some of the linework surrounding and invading the figure. You can also get a sense of the use of gloss contrasted with matte finish I used to hint at another dimension in this work. This series represents a convergence of several elements that have been present in works I have done over the years: the skeleton, the body and biological processes, ethereal abstract lines, and the incorporation of trash into artwork. The figure in this piece is ghostlike--you will see the figures become more and more corporeal as the series progresses.
Continuing with my Coal Seam Gas Exploration Theme, I digitally combined two of my study images, made a transparency, projected it onto watercolour paper and painted in inks, watercolour and gouache.
