    In this new work for Two Rooms, Coloured Line 2012, the idea is that the line works its way horizontally  from left to right, right to left, left to right from the floor up the wall until there is no more time to continue painting. Each coloured segment is one meter long, and the paint is applied with a light fluid touch. “I’m interested in the way the pattern clarifies as more time is spent painting in space.”
