“Every new coat of colour made the shape of those objects harder to identify, but I also noticed that, as a result of their mutation, these “useful” instruments moved from the functional to the intellectual plane and hinted at new narratives.”
Guillermo Mora
These pieces trace a way back from the painting to the object, rendering the utilitarian symbolic. The paint has leapt off the support and mingled with the tools in my studio. Colourful stains envelop and engulf them to form tiny beings, new bodies. What were once mere tools from the world of painting are now objects that reflect my daily studio practice.
