Bloodlight

The Bloodlight Stack series forms part of a suite of sculptural works that are concerned with exploring the interplay between painting and sculpture through the use of paper. Sheets of paper are painted and stacked in such a way that a sculptural form is created. The backs of the sheets of paper are painted a vivid red whilst their faces are painted matte black, creating a rich intensity and alluding to the complex history of these colours in Asian tradition. Like the petals of a flower, the fanning out of the leaves of paper draw the viewer in to the very centre of the work, as though working with a magnetic pull.
