Anti-Matter is the result of an on-going interest in the rhythms of time and nature. Eschewing traditional paints, the artist instead ‘paints’ via alchemical reactions between the air and natural solutions applied to metal sheets. Unpredictability steers the works, allowing for the invisible energy of metal, moisture in the air, and time to react, and become interwoven as means of ‘painting.’ This reductive process sees her manipulating the natural oxidisation of metal, deciding when to halt its process. The resulting patina dust is also turned into pigment and reintroduced back into the works in liquid form. In doing so, time is nebulous as the artist constantly negotiates between materialised and dematerialised states. Through repeated reduction and layering, the act of mark-making becomes both immediate and prolonged.
