Three paintings placed together as a tapestry of what could be suggested as emotion or movement of the body. The textures and scratching feels as if it is revealing something that already lies behind the canvass. There are two different languages between the three paintings, The large ones are Remington of some sort expressionism whilst the other is more controlled. there is a narration-al conflict.
In terms of medium specificity the smaller tapestry painting is about the act of painting. There is a question about the content of the paintings. The smaller one is more comfortable because of the earthly colours and it suggests more ambiguity. A conversation arose about the formatting of the painting. Whether it should be landscape or portrait. It emerges that their is more authenticity involved with the smaller painting. it feels a reflection of what is inside the artists own psyche. Expressing this idea, there are contemporary artists that have involved themselves with art as a transcription.
The two paintings involve two very different processes. The two styles were meant to bring together. The theme involves the idea of disconnection they are about frustration and the expression of artists block. they are not meant to be resolved but are a experimentation and investigation. The larger paintings are an inhibition of the artists freedom. The act of painting brings along a whole landslide of emotion and can be a representation of the subconscious or more uncomfortable side of the self.There is the aspect of what the artist is talking about of how she would make art that shared characteristics with other artists work. Doing this is explained that it can help let her understand what she wants to do. There is a large conflict with what one makes and what is been done to portray the artists feelings. If embarking on wanting to make something look nice you carry conditioning that you cannot break away from.
