About the Item

James Fisher's "You Won't Hear My Step" gallery-wrapped oil on linen painting looks like a multimedia collage, but it was created entirely with paint. It was made by accruing imagery and layering it over and over. The surface was then abraded with Stanley Knife blades and sandpaper to reveal aspects of images that had been hidden. An early stage of "You Won’t Hear My Step," unrecognizable from the finished image, included the initial placements of a crow motif. These were drawn in wax and charcoal, then "fixed" with the bronze-peach oil glaze that can be seen in areas of the image. Then in a later stage the crow motif was condensed into an outline. A flame motif, appropriated from a hazard warning sign was arranged in a repeating pattern across the surface of the picture and is still visible in the final painting. The figure, trees and horizon line of the completed picture were then added. The flame motif introduced earlier is still visible "through" the figure and below the horizon line. Wax was added to the paint in the tree areas to assist in the knife scraping and polishing. Signed James 2008 verso.
