To begin the expanded painting, the first thing to do was get rid of working on squared paper/canvas surface. Like in my previous plans, I thought isolating the shapes from the background would achieve this.
I guess these could be considered collages just as much as a painting. Mounted painting? For this series I have continued to use acrylic painted onto cardboard. I felt this series was an important stage for this project. It stays connected to previous works; Routes I, II and VI. But was an insight into how I want to take my work forward. In the process, I was thinking about Josef Albers colour theory again.
However, I decided not to continue with this process. My method here doesn't relate to my research enough for me to justify creating more. I don't think there's enough relation to my methodology.
For expanded painting, what I am painting onto and how it will be displayed should have more of a direct link to my research. Especially Lefebvre's theory of the everyday.
