About the Artwork

‘Hoof on the Fly’ experiments with casting methods, using surprising materials such as gloss paint. This medium casts in a form of a bulge with gloss paint, with liquid still inside. The bulge can be pressed like skin on the surface of the body. The configuration of the colours are formed in one pour. The work extends the experimentation of casting where liquids often become solid, and the alchemical transcendent quality of this process. The title denotes a malaprop approach to sayings, which echoes the approach to casting and the use of materials.
