    This time-lapse video shows my art processes for this piece. I call this sculptural/painting approach Quantum Brushstrokes. Once the results are flattened out and revealed on the 2D surface, the viewer experiences the familiar reality rather than an accrual of the method used — a possible model of how the natural world is formed, at a tiny scale, by complicated structures and events that are concealed from us.

    Curving the membrane

    Curving the membrane

    The initial thought was to open up surfaces and spaces to far more countless perceptual possibilities by painting on a curve rather than on a flat 2D plane.

    Membrane Art: An aesthetic language

    Membrane Art: An aesthetic language

    All mark-making has been created on some kind of a curved membrane surface prior to it being opened out and stretched to the 2D form for observation — so events can't be created on a flat surface. Here I can be seen folding the linen in preparation for additional painting.

    From this viewpoint, paint can be poured from the top contours of the membrane allowing gravity to follow the surface geometry down both sides of it at the same time (multiplying effect).

    The unfolded state (before it is stretched to a frame)

    The unfolded state (before it is stretched to a frame)

    The flat plane generates the human visual experience — creating a metaphor for how we perceive.
