This body of work 'Aco Series' is concerned with the ‘found object’ through a macro focus into painting materials; reinventing found objects (Slates, Lime, Chalk) into painting materials through a process of alchemy. I seek to research the potential to develop a library of resources to inspire and inform my painting practice. Using principles of painting composition, I experiment with traditional board and canvas, utilising ‘found objects’ as autobiographical documents. These artworks record personal journeys through collected materials at different geographical locations, including the Pilgrims Way, Kent; Reculver Towers, North Kent Coast and the River Avon, Bristol.
