This was a series of work made for studio work in 2008, where I began to dry paint into household forms and moulds. I was interested in pushing paint as a material, taking it to a sculptural form. I liked the way acrylic paint had become a victim, a subject of debate - whether it could last, stand the test of time as oil paint had done for many centuries. The result turned into a photographic outcome which my dad helped me shoot. This was the beginning of my amateur love affair with photography and I even surprised myself by jumping into the shoot, becoming a product, becoming domesticated: like the dried plastic-like paint sheet that became a top, headgear, a mask, even oven mitts.     |
