I really like the idea of painting onto a background of recycled, flat objects, and love what Gentry has done with the used, recycled floppy discs and also the old films and xrays. I think I could do something quite similar inspired by him, but experiment with backgrounds of collage and mixed media, integrating the techniques I have learnt from Suzanne in textiles... Do a painting on Tyvek or Lutradur and burn holes in it and distort it... The only problem I have is what I would paint...
