current practice is breaking new uncharted ground with
watercolours.
Using a synthetic plastic paper, which allows the water and pigments, unhampered, to reveal their own properties and behaviour.
This is very much about the materials, watercolour paints and the painting process. Each piece is un-premeditated, made intuitively as a response to the physical process’ elements.
