Shelf paintings combine found natural or manufactured objects with paintings and or drawings resting together on shelves. The space between the 3D object and the 2D surface becomes activated through discrepancies of size, contrasts or affinities of mood, and through the nature of the object in relation to the style of painting or drawing. The interactions set up might be of longing, clash, humour, whimsy or... These works are open ended, not yet formed as a finite group.
