Every Picture Tells a Story
EPTAS is a series of 15 paintings around the theme of ‘Conflict’—each painting is a snapshot of a newspaper story that was current at the time when the group was meeting.
Each member had to first of all choose a story that had some significance for themselves. they then used paint and crayon to highlight certain key words and phrases which helped to portray the depth of meaning behind the story.
The story was then blown up on acetate and a small section used which helped create the abstract effect that you see. The finished painting was used to kick start a discussion on ‘conflict’ and specifically how it had affected individual group members.
