PRECISE IMPERFECTION - Factory 49, 49 Shepherd st, Marrickville - 2007

'Imprecise Imperfection' was my second show at Factory 49.  I exhibited 3 large square paintings - 'Yellow Square', 'Red Square' and 'Blue Square' - each painting consisting of 4 panels; and small prototypes of 'Circle' paintings that I had planned. 

The title referred to the 'regular irregularity' that occurs when a small stencil is repeated over a large surface.  The grid loses its position and has to be constantly corrected, and oil paint bleeds and overlaps edges.
