Painting Objects

“Thinking of the painting as an object and considering the material aspect of paintings: seeing that painting was paint on canvas and then by extension seeing that it occupied a space and sat on the wall, and all that, and then, if those elements seemed to be necessary to what I was doing. And so I thought to use this idea and extend that kind of physicality...” -Jasper Johns, page 88 Jasper Johns: Writings, Sketchbook Notes Interviews

This is the progress i have made on the idea to paint objects on objects. These are not complete, as i intent to add layers of photo-transfers and line drawings then to coat them in resin so that they gain more of a permanent sculptural quality. Initially my interest was merely to make these paintings transform into objects, but now that i am working on them i am gaining an interest in exploring how the boxes and the paintings begin to work together.
