This mixed media painting has been shaped, melded, and constructed in layers using various fragments from some old print proofs, embossed papers and oil paint on canvas.

Corinna's inspiration behind her 'Ad-Libbing painting:

"Recalls passionate conversations about theatre, music and poetry. My aim in this painting was to completely immerse the figures in an atmosphere of music and drama. Beginning a painting, I don’t always have an exact idea of what I am trying to achieve, rather I improvise with collaged shapes and patterns and then I react to it with marks and brush stokes and let the painting reveal its rhythm as I work - a bit like how jazz musicians improvise and respond to each other’s rhythms and chords. The unpredictable way in which I layer and collage materials between the paint, interrupts the surface and reveals little windows that can be peered into and which I hope tempts the viewer to look in and become absorbed in the atmosphere of the work instead of trying to find a particular hidden narrative." - Corinna Button
