PSTD PAINTINGS

The Primary Scientific Time Data (PSTD) artworks originate from chance happenings and an unknown formula of putting things together. For example, Chris firstly selects a number of building materials and art supplies to work. He adds cement, building sand, plaster, industrial glosses, with acrylic, PVA and gloss paints. He is interested in creating a mixture which is obscure and unidentifiable to his mind and hands. The last stage of making these artworks become more obvious as he uses paint to pick out the transformations that has materialised in the mixture and the surface. Chris is in more control of his actions at this later stage. However, he has produced a system that operates through complexed decisions of adding and removing. He has designed a rebellious and improvisational technique achieved by dismantling and deconstructing materials, surface and a working process.
