Matter, No Matter explores the physical and mineral origins of colour. Each painting is structured by a mineral pigment which bestows it’s colour on the painting, whilst the forms derive from cultural associations with the material. In their own way, each mineral is believed to bring something into being or contribute to a process of transformation.
