This was a collaborative project between Di Broomhall and myself. We are both studio artists at M16 Artspace, where there is now a wall in the foyer for studio artists to exhibit their work for three month periods. We were given the season of Spring in 2022. I chose to make two three-dimensional paintings. The first artwork I made was in response to the bricks in the building that are a prominent feature in the foyer space. I created bricks out of plywood and painted them in primary colours along with dark blue and white. The surfaces of the bricks are important and the paints I used varied from high gloss to soft deep mattes and gritty to completely smooth textures. The second artwork I started creating many years ago out of coloured toy dominos. I had it hanging on the back of my studio door and once I completed the bricks artwork I had the idea of painting the dominos in the same colours and forming a shape out of them.
