White Works comprises a series of works that are based
upon the raw material for painting excluding paint. The work undertakes an
investigation into the preconditions for painting, reconfiguring it in simple
ways, creating subtle mataphors relating to the object of art in both meanings
of the word. Lightness, emptiness and subtraction are here put forward as key
aspects in dealing with the art object as a vessel for thought.
