Original artwork description:

There is a moment after you have painted for a whole day, when you stop and you look up at what you have done, and see that it is absolutely terrible. Terrible in form, in colour, in concept. Unappealing and inconsistent in almost every way. And in that moment, that is completely artistic freedom, for you know that having tried more than a dozen ways to slice and dice this piece, that you cannot fail more than where you are right now.
I experienced that with this work, it was what drove me to rip it off the wall whilst still wet, to fold and to bike over it, transforming it in a way that was novel to myself. In turn this mechanism led to the further use of biking as a technique, inspiring a wholly different way of composing.
