Having collected paper documents, doodles and other artists’ paintings in order to modify, I bought some fabrics such as blankets, sleeping bags and duvets and stretched them onto wooden frames as readymade hi-viz painting grounds. 

The second-hand textiles weren’t the freshest, but I liked the idea that the fibers contained physical histories in the form of absorbed spillages, micro-matter and even dna. People had lain under and wrapped themselves in this comfy swaddling, they had dreamed, perspired, farted, worried, cried and made love within these covers, which held memory and residue of human bodies. If these fabrics were analyzed at a forensics lab, what findings would they yield? Perhaps the results could be presented as a kind of portrait.
