ALBA AÑIL

"I build with plaster and indigo using a trowel and I note down measurements with a carpenter's pencil on the fabric of cement sacks. The paint soaks through the canvas to the other side, it drips and stains the floor, creating constellations. It takes in random and unpredictable washes. Here and there, reference points and measurement marks on the raw canvas appear. Basic and orthodox elements of traditional painting such as the canvas and its priming are mixed with those of a bricklayer with trowel, plaster and indigo marker."
