Canvas is a prayer mat and paint the prayer, translating ideas of metaphysical energy, through fluidity and weight of paint and medium. The repetitive application of paint in smearing bodily movements, repetitive touch and pouring liquid, denote different states of invocation, inspired by Abstract Expressionist action painting and the Impressionists investigation of light through paint. An exploration of paint and materiality as alchemical substances take on spiritual meaning through metamorphosis, surrendering to unaccountable changes within the process.
