The strength of watercolour lies in its qualities of looseness. The pigment traveling through pools of water laid down, intertwining, demarcations only when the waters edge creates a barrier; the translucency of washes through which the light passes through and back to create subtle shifts in hues; the ability to flow and intermingle with such minimal intervention as a gentle pull or a soft breath. The images in this series reference hidden, submerged worlds underwater; they aim predominantly to create an atmosphere of softness and uncertainty. The compositions have no real right way up or down but rather seek to engage the plane of the paper in such a way that even the negative space is engaged as part of the whole.
