artist talk

I attended an artist talk which featured an artist named Neenah percy who was from the royal college of arts she taslked us through her her worked had progressed and changed over her time at the college. she used to paint with just acrylic on canvas but then she started experimenting with the paint its self looking at it as more of a sculpting material than a painting material and started to create these wonderful sculptures that hang from the wall made purely out of acrylic paint I found this very inspiring and unique as I was not a wear that this was possible
