Mary O'Connor, Stack I
Paint on wooden panels
As a result of photographing my panels on their side they have become sculptural stacks. The stacked layers of multiple panels mimic geographical layers of soil and rock when slicing through a landscape. Within each layer there are numerous colours. Like in nature, the formation and layer of each colour is accidental and not controlled, it is in fact a biproduct of painting on the panels. Working through surprise and chance, I allow the paint on the panel to lead the way.
