Blinding Light

Blinding Light, graphite and watercolour pencil and acrylic paint on artboard, 420 x 594 mm, 2023

Blinding Light is one of a series of wholly improvised drawing/ painting/ mosaics created over a period of about a fortnight in 2023. I obviously had a thing about socks, shoes and noses.

The process with these pieces is to divide two sheets of A3 art board into eight tiles each (measuring c. 10.5 x 14.75 cm). Each one is then numbered on the reverse, the pack of 16 tiles is shuffled and I start drawing or painting on the tile from the top of the pack. When every tile has been worked on the two sheets of A3 are reassembled in number order.

These were taken on the outskirts of Beckenham, Kent, UK. It sounds a long way out of town, but you can walk to London in ten minutes.

It’s Prince week here at The Future Is Papier Mâché. If you’re wondering why every post and photograph goes by the name of a Prince song, the answer can be found in my last but one post. But in short, this week’s posts are under the influence of this article. I would also like to point you in the direction of Obsolescence Project, where more questions (and jokes) about titles are being presented.
