Original artwork description:

Working on the suggestion that yellow and blue are the two fundamental primary colours and everything else is in between (Goethe).

Here, a number of paint pourings have been applied on one fixed undulation. Once the work is opened out and stretched onto a frame the depth becomes compressed and all is revealed.

Membrane Art is an aesthetic thought that I have been evolving over the past twelve years. Starting with a loose (unframed) membrane, the surface geometry plays a part in creating distinctive expressions and unfolding events. The curvatures re-enact the natural world (containing multidimensional values). However, the idea is only complete when the membrane is unravelled and the results are revealed on the 2D picture plane. This generates the human visual experience, a metaphor for how we view the world.
