reflection: Asemblages

I have spent a few years of trying landscape lines in my sketchbook: is entail taking a line for a walk across the landscape covering multiple pages in my sketchbook. The blinds have recently been translated into plastic lines. Arranging the fan plastic into liner drawings across the floor or in the studio. Often I have sorted them through colour which has made them appear quite painterly and perhaps then failing to convey the message that this plastic is the result of something so destructive and horrific. A paradox comes into play, one that could be said to be found in plastic itself; plastic has been a world changing invention its use has enabled untold developments but it has been responsible for an environmental disaster on a cataclysmic level. I continue to collect the plastic from the beach and I continue to consider ways I might use it within my art practice attempting to avoid being overly dogmatic and more collaborative in my approach.
