After my earlier work with leaves I now decided to use them in the making of work instead of depicting them. So I proceeded with my plan and dipped the leaves in watery red paint. I began to try and paint with them but then discovererd that the best effect was achieved by spinning the leaves between my fingers and letting the paint splash all over the page.
I really liked the end result of this experiment and felt it captured movement in destruction well, also it was different to other work I have done so far. But I didn't anticipate some consequence from this work, which was the fact that the paint soaked through to the other side of the page. But visually I also found this quite interesting. So instead of trying to cover I outlined the shapes that had been created.
These shapes lead me on to even more exciting new work. I photocopied them, cut them out, arranged them in a new form and mounted them on coloured paper. I enjoyed how starting one aspect of work can lead onto another and each piece is a different interpretation of the original splash.
