Here 24 paintings depicting imaginary icescapes are installed in a gallery space together with a 16mm film made from the paintings projected on to a freestanding film screen.
All the paintings are based on a failed “mother painting” (4x5 ft), a painting that was never fully resolved. Here the layers were explored sideways instead. Subtle changes are made from painting to painting. The 24 paintings make up the 24 layers of these attempts presented sideways. One section, the upper right corner, remains somewhat similar from painting to painting. This area was the part that was considered successful in the original painting and was therefore repeated in each new painting.
Each of the 24 paintings, also makes up one frame in a one second long (24 frames/second) 16mm film. The film, which is looped and projected with 2 seconds clear film (slug) between the one-second footage, is presented together with the paintings.
