Clare Menck

Outside In presents several departures; most importantly it sees my return to painting on canvas after years of working exclusively on wood. I worked with watery washes for the initial build-up, in contrast to my alla prima work on wood and found the accidental happenings with paint dissolving and dripping onto the canvas both frustrating and exhilarating.

The relinquishing of control on a technical level, perhaps for the first time in years, became a frightening and a fulfilling creative journey.
