Painting

As the tarantula continues spinning its web it suffocates many small family enterprises. I painted seven small depictions of a spider web, each new painting protrays a slightly bigger web, consuming more and more of the wood, the wood representing the long tradition of the small family trader.







Inspiration. :)

I take all my web designs from actual spider webs. I photographed them in my garden.




The ice, snow and foggy conditions made for perfect veiwing of spider webs!

Development..

I began to think of the many ways you can make a web. Instead of having it attached to a wall or strectched from one thing to another I wanted a web which was strong enough to stand on its own. I began experimenting with PVA glue on acetate and came up with a few interesting images.

Using paint I was able to create a new effect by scraping the paint off and adding more on.

Web of Materialism


After many spools of thread, drawing pins, finger knitting and patience, I made the Web of Materialism. I made it in the window sill of the studio and photographed it with the city horizon in the background. With computer manipulation I managed to get the beautiful effect of the sun setting, emphasising the web even more.
