EDITION, November 2020
I am very happy to present a limited release of small paintings. These are a chance for collectors to get their hands on a small-scale, affordable example of the work that I have been pursuing over recent years. The Painting Mill project continues to form a core of my practice, around which other things oscillate. I consider the Painting Mill as a celebration of basic machines and the way they are incorporated into our lives. In this case, the machine becomes a tool and a process that is integrated into my painting practice, which is a broader exploration of colour and abstraction. Rather than commissioning a print run, or conventional edition, I have chosen to adapt the Painting Mill process to the project at hand.
These are limited in number and adhere to a set colour way and composition. There are variations to particular marks and exact placements that occur as a result of the process. So, whilst they are very much a limited set, they are also each unique. There are 2 sets that have been completed, available from each Hugo Michell Gallery, Adelaide and Backwoods Gallery, Melbourne. Individual photographs of each work are available from the galleries.
