Last summer I made 24 watercolours, experimenting with form and colour.
I made them on my granny’s beautiful old watercolour paper, in my mother’s house while my baby daughter slept. Now I have framed six of the paintings and hung them in my daughter’s room.
These paintings simply make me feel happy. And I love the connection they have to the women in my family. @rokamason 😘

I will also add that these are not something I will ever exhibit, the rest of them are sitting in my folder in my studio. So if any of you are interested in them please let me know. I would be so happy to have them hanging on walls, for me they are pure joy!

New blanket landscape in the mix. Dyed with lavender and avocado skins, laid to rest on rosemary bushes in a beaut park on the outskirts of the city, buried at the beach (and lain on) by Frida!, bundled and rubbed with thyme and rosemary, brushed with calendula petals and painted with soil. Just the beginning though!

Many of the experiences the blankets go through don’t even make the tiniest of stains on the canvas. These are in many ways my favourite. The interactions that will never be clearly visible.
Even so, they are still part of the residue that is left behind when these blankets are turned into paintings.

Realising that less is more with my new Blanket Landscapes.
After a year of battling with paint I have realised that any contrived mark on these canvas simply takes away from the residual build up.
Months of playing, rubbing, dunking, splashing, crushing, smoking, wrapping, burying, washing, singing, burning, walking, rolling, resting, pouring, raining, breaking revealing itself in simple stains.
