Taking a very simplified process and palette as a staring point – works that explore colour arrangements and compositions within a grid format these paintings were developed from there. As the process was repeated and expanded I became interested in the more fluid experimental painting that was happening in my mixing palette in contrast to the fixed work that I created in the grid format. My palette was no longer just a means to an end but also an end in itself. These works showed the endless variety that can come through working in both structured and exploratory ways.
