Loveday Pride synthesises discardable materials and exploratory painting, using covering materials such as dust sheets, tablecloth and protector roll. The surfaces are given the responsibility of holding delicate forms, both drawn and cut, to allow the works to exist between, curtain, pattern, and mural, being simoultaneously precise and incidental.

The seamless use of collage allows multiple languages of images to exist in tandem, allowing them to be unstable in their status as sentimental, graphic and gestural. There is not a solid footing when confronted by these images, what they depict is not easily resolved. Rather than relaying a singular account or describing an event, the work aims to reflect on a tradition of painting and sculpture which is experimental, self-aware and precarious.
