Residuum - a small amount of something that remains after the main part has gone or been taken or used.
Before this work process started, I had little idea of what to expect or ideas to prepare - I only knew (made myself decide) that I wanted to do something site specific. Old paint marks on the ground informed the whole work process as well as how other artists who were painters were treating the area of where they were painting (with protective mats covering all areas).
I decided to use the existing old paint marks as a source for action. I marked out the ground area where my space was with masking tape. Within this parameter I decided to use paint (gouache and water colour) to hide the existing old marks. Outside this area I decided to use the same paint to cover but this time to extend the existing marks. This non permanent paint would be removed as part of the work. It is the action that will complete the work.
A series of screen prints will be proposed, as a reflection on the completed work. The intervention finds its completion in cleaning the floor (by removing the paint which was painted in the first place to hide old stains within the marked zone). There are different treads of interest coming out of this intervention and these 3 screen prints help out to dissect such outlines of thought.
