The Rolling Pin collection by artist Daniel Eatock was created as a means to reduce studio waste. The paper in each piece was originally used to blot excess ink from other works, which are then dried and cut in half, and reassembled with other pieces. Each painting is unique, signed and sold with frames.///Artist Statement
The by-product of making Rolling Pin Paintings are sheets of paper where rolled shapes and colours haphazardly overlapped. These sheets have been used like blotting paper, removing excess paint from the wood canvas so the paint achieved a very flat application. My attention was focused on the creation of the paintings, and zero creative thought was directed at these sheets. After a stack had amassed I felt the need to work with them. Like making a meal from combining leftover food, forcing combinations of ingredients to work with a desire to be economical and avoid waste. In the same vein I treated each sheet as a leftover, collaging them together, seeking moments of serendipity, alignment and harmony attempting to understand the fluid nature of colour and its relationship to form. Like abstract still life’s, all the fruits in a bowl in one ripe object. Fluid rolled forms coaxed into existence. Colours meet, the edge extends, a form emerges.
