Sam M. Harley
My practice explores the idea of thingness and how the art object and the typical object function alongside each other. There is a tension between the traditional high-fi nature of paint and the low-fi everyday objects. I use the familiarity of the everyday to give the viewer something recognisable, yet through the addition of paint, it elevates the everyday into something new.
I consider the traditions of painting. I juxtapose areas of thick oil paint with watercolours and house paper. It is important that the conventions of the medium are challenged.
