Pacific Breeze II

Through materiality, process and form, Tess Williams’ work explores what a painting can be beyond its frontal surface. She tests how far she can push her works toward textiles, collage or installation, without them ceasing to exist as ‘paintings’. Each piece of work is constantly in flux whilst being made - a painting may have taken on many different forms before it is ever exhibited. Restless about the outcome - works are ripped up, sewn back together, altered completely, finally evolving to become a finished piece - the eventual success of many failures.
