ASW Art Systems Wickham, Newcastle, Australia.</p>https://research.avondale.edu.au/handle/123456789/06738306<p>The painting <em>Channel</em> - enamel and butyl rubber on plywood 36cm x 32cm in the exhibition <em>Richard Morris Paintings 2015</em> exhibited at ASW Art Systems Wickham, Newcastle., was formed by deconstructing pre-painted panels, into narrow rectilinear units, which have been re-assembled into a horizontally stacked rectilinear configuration. By utilising a strictly horizontal assembly or ‘stack’ of painted ‘splinters’ of plywood, each with distinct variation in both colour and texture, the work entails a type of stratification, suggestive of a landscape ‘field.’ Such notions can be seen to stem from a similar structuring configuration in the horizontal bands of earth, water and sky which typify a conventional observation of the physical landscape.</p>en-us<p>Used by permission: the artist</p>paintingassemblagelandscapeCreative Work
