Material Cover-Ups was built around a collection of works, all of which referred to themes of barrier materials, ad-hoc structures, layered processes and the act of 'covering-up'.
With a curatorial theme derived from personal research interests, the exhibition drew together a range of nationally-recognised practitioners, along with recent graduates from UK Art Schools. By selecting and bringing together a group of artists whose work aligned with my own practice-based research concerns, new dialogues with relation to expanded field painting practices works were brought to the fore.
