Eye Music II

About the Performance Painting

This performance took place at the beginning of the Eye Music exhibition and was the first time I worked on Perspex facing the audience. Hidden Treasure by John Tavener has a rich eastern sound, and upon hearing it I could mainly see dense greens and Yellows. For the moving Britten piece I could sense Arch shapes and dark Prussian blues with only glimmers of light in between. In both pieces I was concentrating largely on my own colour responses but also the textures and patterns emerging from these densely woven pieces. The flowing nature of using Perspex also effected the way in which I painted on this occasion.
