Meeting Space

​

Taking my cues from the Japanese notion of Wabi-sabi, this project focused on the beauty of transience, decay and being moved by the imperfect.

​

In creating this work, my aim was to transform the context of the urban space in which this painting was installed and temporarily transform it into a place of reflection, stirring throughs and emotions of whoever happened to pass by.

​

I documented the decay of the work over the course of a month, giving it a platform to playout its limited lifespace as it interacted with nature's elements.

It was a cold winter back in 2012/13 i loved the way it made the oil paint crack.
