The conception of Straight Line simply originated within the metaphor of producing a symbolic object – a paintbrush – of controlled attributes - the same height and weight as the artist - in the pursuit of perfection.

An innocent decision was made to record the process in which the paintbrush would be used to mark a straight line around a blank architectural canvas. Ironically the brush had an agenda of its own; an uncontrollable alter-ego that stood to subvert the artist's own fastidious nature. A passionate battle of wits transpires, balancing on the knife-edge between being in and out of control of his actions. From the intensity to succeed came the gesture of chaos, containing within this video footage the energy, flow and movement of live performance.
