Built up through layers of acrylic paint, each skin is peeled away, folded, stretched and reshaped into sculptural forms. While rooted in painting through the use of paint, stretcher and canvas, these works push beyond the flat surface. The paint becomes a material in itself - flexible, physical and transformed through processes of change, pressure and reinvention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDraped, folded or pulled across frames and found structures, creating a tension between softness and rigidity. Their production is slow, physical and labour-intensive. A metaphor for survival and reinvention, particularly within his sculptural assemblages made in his wider practice.
