Over / Under / Cover / Repeat was a new body of work created for a showcase at the Bowery Gallery in Leeds. It formed part of ongoing studio investigations into the qualities of everyday barrier materials. From solid hoardings, to chain-link wires and to plastic weaves, diverse material surfaces are so often part of everyday urban spaces, but are easily overlooked.

Exhibition Text:

Over / Under / Cover / Repeat is the culmination of a 2 year practice-based research trajectory, with the resulting body of work positioned as a ‘thinking-through’ process, rather than simply an activity of making paintings of subjects, or creating objects.

​

Here, the works point toward questioning the ways in which the selected subject can be considered, challenged, used and re-imagined through the activity of painting and by using painting practice as a methodological tool.
