Life As I See it, 2013
Year Long Painter's Progress Class at Artstation (Now Studio One Toi Tū), 1 Ponsonby Rd, Auckland
​
​Gilles Deleuze observed that “A canvas is never empty,” there are many things already in a painter’s mind and/or surrounding her. Before the actual painting can start, a painter must empty the canvas out instead of filling it in. A painter must destroy the cliché, let go and transform it. Create resemblance through non-resemblance means. (The Painting before Panting in “Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation,” Gilles Deleuze, trans. Daniel W Smith, 2003).

These works are my first series of abstraction drawing from subjective experiences and memories. 
They are intense with hallucinatory and blinding colour. Process, chance, and materiality of paint informed and dictated the end result.
