Series of restriction paintings
Oil and chainlink fence on linen
h: 200 w: 95 d: 4 (cms).
The work and its series use chain line fencing that would typically surround a recreational sports ground. I was interested in the relationship between the fencing and the body, in terms of restricting and directing notions of play. The kind of play one engages in as an athlete and an artist. These works sit somewhere between Ryman, Rothko and Pollock in exploring the paint and its interaction with the surface of the canvas.
In Proffesional sport we are always given statistical values to try to quantify the degree or externt of something. These paintings are each titles after their own dimensions, giving them an immediate reference to the body.
