black painting is a silent, looped single image digital projection installation. Recorded on super 8 film, a circle of sunlight falls unsteadily on a devotional painting. This light, while showing part of the image also introduces new material and a skewed geometry. The image materialises, stutters and dissolves. Circularity is cut by the frame of the architectural element that doesn't hold.
An apprehension of multiple or contingent orders, the work connects to memory and transcription; processes in which losses and divergences figure meaning. It looks at the ways things resist translation and how the world insinuates itself as a kind of notation of subjective modalities. Familiar painterly and filmic readings of colour and story are disturbed by material and perceptual considerations.
