About the Artwork
Greenfield Allotments references colour field painting and the ‘Greenfield’, infinite space and blurred edges tamed by curbing and channelling – the pinnacle of Modernist idealism and themes of development into the boundless landscape. Decades of aluminium kitchen objects ‘paint’ new versions of these histories realigned and reconfigured but still within gridded boundaries and seemingly uniform; each component reveals the marks of a lived experience within the changing rotations of time and wear.
