The artist: "The roots of the ‘Paint Drop’ artwork, which measures 2.25 sq. m, took form during the pandemic, inspired by the idea of using left over paint as part of my commitment and passion for keeping materials in a circular system. The call to action went out, via Instagram - ‘Waste paint wanted!’ 

The canvas itself, was previously a printed promotional canvas.  I started with a single rule - no brushes allowed. The artwork evolved in a highly organic way, applying the paint by pouring, scraping and dripping, allowing each new colour time to dry. I worked on it for over a year, until it told me it was done!"
