HOOPS

HOOP ARCHIVE

ARTIST STATEMENT

A blurring of where sculpture begins and painting ends, these works propose a unique and engaging feature, distinguishing themselves as original eye-catching spatial interventions. Pushing the edges of my painting and moving into new territories, these works sit beyond the two dimensional but also move through space to include and engage the environment. Dynamic and presenting the exciting potential of remaining flexible if installed in sets of two or more, my hoop wall installations afford the freedom for the individual to generate their own compositions and enjoy their own personal interpretation of the works within their space. 

 

Installations with several hoops could be clustered together or spread apart, compositions were free to occupy a wall by contracting or expanding depending on how they were intended to sit. 

 

The hoops reiterate the constant of the circular forms which appear throughout my printmaking and painting, and while painted in two dimensions operate as three dimensional object as well - particularly works which have metallic leaf and generate their own light. Refracting gold or silver leaf surfaces further engage the environment via light through exposure to varying light.

Through the years I have executed countless commissions customising hoop colour narratives and configurations to suit private and commercial client needs. They are available as individual works and sets.
