The header image of the working wall at the end of a studio day presents a screen between the viewer and a distant space. Situated in FT newspaper stock started out as a practical necessity to protect the studio wall (a landlord thing) that has become an evolving default.

Materiality in Painting: An artist led project operating in the visual arts sector

PROJECT AIMS. The Materiality in Painting (MiP) project will work to advance societal agency when engaging with cultural production. The core objectives are:
A.1 To engender inclusive approaches to engagement with materiality in painting.
A.2 to enhance knowledge and expertise through shared discourse with arts practitioners and self selecting audience/publics in direct contact with artefacts.
A.3 To support, encourage and sustain the production of new artefacts, public exhibitions and performance events as research material for foundational progression.
A.4 To advocate agency for visual culture in the post industrial and pandemic era economy in Teesside.

The paintings in the wall work image make a start into figuring the content of subsequent performances/screenings/exhibitions.
