Amy Shackleton Painting Timelapse, 2

I paint representational works with a drip technique normally reserved for abstraction. I don t use paintbrushes, I apply the paint with squeeze bottles and rotate my canvas to guide each drip as it falls downthe stretched surface. Thorough planning, measuring and layering is involved, but I m at the mercy of gravity. The natural force of gravity allows for a refreshing unpredictability that helps illustrate the organic elements in my work. To combat the natural, I use a rotating easel and a levelcreating straightlines, controlled curves, and eventually, concrete buildings. Waterworks is currently on display until April 29 at The Elaine Fleck Gallery in Toronto, as part of my solo show Terraces: A Series of Steps to a Sustainable With this show, I demonstrate the significance of urban agriculture for sustainable development. Using terraced land in Italy and Peru as a source for inspiration, I transform modern architecture into examples of sustainabledesign
