The work featured in the degree show focuses on abstraction through unpredictability and intuitive painting. I follow an order of processes that begins with action painting and gestural mark making. This is followed by editing, removing and highlighting different marks and spaces to create a contrast in layering. The edited spaces then begin to appear as separate shapes that sit within the painting. This creates a push and pull between the layers and marks within the work. My colour palettes are often generated by shuffling and organising sets of Pantone colour cards to feed into the unpredictability of the painting and inspire juxtapositions of colour that branch out from my usual choices.
