Melbourne painter Anna White who wants to tell you about her way of working. “I experiment with the application of coloured oil paint to the surface of Perspex, which I then manipulate, blur and blend to the accompaniment of recorded music.” Have you ever been to a studio that didn’t have a sound system? The material object, not the choreography of the studio, is more truly our concern. White’s flattened and dragged blobs of pigment are accepted by the viewer as the result of purposive activity. Presumably, White wants them to be aesthetically pleasing and to challenge the viewer as the result of purposive activity. They succeed on both counts.
