This is the second work from a three-piece series reflecting on where I grew up, which is part of an ongoing project to make work related to places lived through stain painting techniques. On the surface, there was a strong structure but in many ways, it was skin deep with chaos underneath it. In this work, there was an attempt to control the imprints of the stains from the paint into the canvas through using tape and when the painting was completed, the tape was removed to show what had been left preserved. Despite best efforts, the staining still penetrated canvas underneath the tape.
