Project for a Curved Wall is a series of fifteen panels, painted as a response to the architecture of the Rotunda Gallery at Leeds Arts University. The panels are tilted on small wedges, and together they form a series that can be seen in procession, from changing viewpoints. The architectural inferences in the work are entirely fictional and intentionally ambiguous. Any attempt to identify, locate or rationalise space in the paintings is confounded by the use of repetition, reflection and reversal. The illogical placement of walls, floors and screens structures a series of impossible spaces, and suggests a journey constructed entirely within the space of painting, as an answer to the real space in which the work is situated.
