I had been for a long time trying to think about how I can then showcase my idea on a final piece. I watched videos about Rothko, Joan Mitchell, Richter, Hilma Af Klint, Mondrian, Pollock, Krasner and many others. Watched videos about what is the world of abstract. Visited galleries and experienced seeing the works for myself. All I noticed was: the difference in impact between small and big works. In the abstract world size is absolutely crucial for how overwhelming or not you want your piece to be. So I decided on a canvas. It was always going to be a painting, of course, since my work is about colour scraping. Perhaps I could have gone into it digitally but I'm more of a touchy person. I have to have it in my hands. But anyway, the size. Larger pieces had the most impacts on me. I felt taken by it. Like I was this tiny little dot. I couldn't possible replicate the same size in the space that I'm working in as there's not space but I decided to make the canvas to the largest size that it could fit through the door. So that was 2.3m. I know. I almost feel like I should have a bigger reason as to why I chose the size. I know why it's squared though if it makes things better?! It's a square to resemble a box. Much as the saying "trapped in a box" or "come out of the box".
Just how a person going through the pain of loss would feel.
