This body of work interrogates the notion of how hard-edged geometric abstraction can express a striving for perfection. And how perfection can be attained through the methodology of the handmade. The focus is on simplicity of form, minimal use of colour and repetition of multi-panel paintings. A flawless finish is the desired outcome, however minor imperfections are a sign of the impossibility of attaining perfection.
