Gail Troth - Epoch Makers - Saturday 26th April 2008

Gail Troth %EXT% has an exhibition at the Three White Walls Gallery (downstairs at The Mailbox) for the next few weeks. I went along today to see Gail speak and demonstrate the way that she works.

Gail's paintings are made by very carefully dripping paint onto a horizontal canvas, where the individual "cells" of paint push against each other to form the final image. It's painstaking work, in unbroken sessions of up to 12 hours - you can't let it dry and start again tomorrow!

Here's some pictures:
