My process derives from an interest in the mental and physical limits of the body. Delicately painted over a long period of time, the work appears at first to be mechanically made but reveals it to be the product of a careful hand. By using a random number generator to allocate colours to the base grid, the painting begins its life illogically. The random and deliberate actions come together to create a sufficient formal balance within the work.
