Sturmius Wittschier experiments with media for their structural qualities and surprise textural effects. The supports he works upon include wood, cardboard, softfibre and paper. Onto these supports he applies: acrylic, "waste" (eg: wood shavings), sand, pastel chalk, marble flour, structural paste and oils. There is a distinctly cosmological feel to the work which is primarily abstract throughout. The chance imagery created by his experimental attitude to materials is original and evocative. The restrained colour palette of vermillion and cyan over a monochromatic base is at times reminiscent of stained glass windows which contrast with the focus on earthly matter.
