Never Painted, Untitled 2004 - present.

Version ? A5 Bic biro


In 2004 I had the idea of using a video camera and a television as a substitute for a mirror in order to make a self portrait. As time went by, no such painting was to surface but instead a richer and more relevant series of works that would in turn spawn my current work. I have drawn numerous diagrams of the how the painting would work on the backs of sketch pads and on random pieces of paper. Initially I would draw in the artists view from the screen onto his canvas but something began to happen to the drawings the longer I left it. Seeing as I was not making the painting there seemed no point in the drawing making the painting. Now what I have is a new diagram of a new painting about not making a painting.
