I used to think that the key to getting away from product driven working practice would be to free myself up – be looser and more expressive, be out of control, go bigger.
But I’ve recently realised that this isn’t necessarily the case. Maybe I’m not looking for drama, physicality or excitement. Some of the most satisfying moments have been making with repetitive mark-making and slow movements. I don’t need to be writhing around on the floor in a puddle of paint or covering huge pieces of paper with big swooping marks to free myself up; I just need to keep my brain distracted with the process.
