Folded: Repetition, Distraction, Comfort.
This work was a development from my acknowledgement that the simple action of completing a fold and repeating it was a distraction and a comfort. A form of mindfulness.This investigation followed on from my sculpture for Broomhill where I used the simplicity and organic nature of the fold. Noticing as you can use the variation between folds to make the viewers eye travel over the work.I was also drawn to the minute differences between the seemingly identical and found myself deliberately creating this.

For me flowers signify moments, special dates, treasured parts of your garden, times of the year, and even important people - all these things trigger memories. To suggest this I paint flowers fading in and out of detail just as our thoughts, creating elements on each canvas to discover and savour, using colour to allow the eyes to gently search the canvas at their own pace.
