Malevolent Eldritch Shrieking.

Neapolitan, Acrylic paint on board, 2018, submitted exhibit for Malevolent Eldritch Shrieking at Attercliffe TM, Sheffield. 46 x 61cm. Neapolitan is a painting that refers to and is made in relation to its own boundaries, and its slippery surface. Each brush stroke sits in relation to the one next to it. Three colours of chocolate brown, lemon vanilla, and a gravy grey, are pulled across the surface of the board/ canvas. Each set (of 3) stripes are weaved above and below what has gone before. The work borrows and is indebted to 'Suite Au Rouleau', by Bernard Frize and a love of food. Neapolitan is a record of time, of decisions overridden, of boundaries determined, and permutations of possibilities set up, tested, failed and re-imagined. Each stripe melts and gloops into it’s neighbour. Brush marks slide into a sticky state. Neapolitan is a moment of visual, chemical, and mathematical interaction. It confirms a state that is forever shifting, capturing a moment of delectable possibility.
