Expanded Value
Most people in the world would agree that gold is a beautiful shiny substance that is much sought after, it's value changing daily. For me the value of a piece of artwork can be very different to each individual. My art practice has moved from the physicality of actual gold to the meaning of value and what it means in the art world. My vision on expanded painting is removing the paint from the canvas, and asking the question, by doing this, is the value then removed from the art work? In my artwork I have deconstructed famous paintings and given them their own sense of worth.
