CATHERINE WOO /
ARTIST STATEMENT / 2014
Painting with Weather evolved through a bi-fold intention - to create a painting system whereby to some extent the works would create themselves, and to combine this with an existing framework of exploring matter, body and environment. The desire to have the works self-propagate was somewhat prosaic in its genesis, read: time poor artist needs assistance from natural process to achieve artwork outcomes. What manifested was a partnership with the immediate environment around the studio - the guttering was re-directed into the studio, and its seepage, flowing and wave motions were combines with vibration and evaporation - and a collaboration with the weather came into being. The resulting works document this process, where the involvement of the artist is no greater than the processes deployed, leaving not so much a record of my perception of the environment, as a trace of our alliance.
