Considering my practice revolves mostly around domestic space and imbedded notions etc, and the way we all have simple references to detail, doors, windows, stairs, bedrooms etc,a sense of familiarity and associating is always apparent.
To develop a deeper context to my paintings, an emphasized form of intimacy from the work, i decided to project a light behind the viewer so the shadow will appear in the painting. (obviously i will have to fiddle with the light in order for the shadow to fit with the perspective )
I feel this would unite the viewer and the work, showing a trace human existence. when i apply this technique with a painting that depicts the bedroom for example, this would bring into question voyeuristic investigation, or the curiosity drive, becoming triggers for thought which relate to the space, and possible emotional states, Gaining a feeling of intimacy from familiar spaces.
