"In my work each concentric circle is formed by a single drop that falls into a pool of paint and thus impacts upon all parts of the pool. I developed this unique method during my degree course in fine art. It entails dropping the paint into a pool of fluid rather than using a brush.
 
This non-interventionist approach allows the self-organisational character of the paint to reveal itself effortlessly producing delicate structure and pattern that manual dexterity would be hard-pressed to emulate.
 
Many natural systems show organization, galaxies, chemical compounds, cells and societies and questions about how this organization arises have been raised since ancient times. In an attempt to answer these questions the physicist and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman directed his students towards the study of the infinitely small, by telling them "There's plenty of room at the bottom". In my artistic practise my aim is to take his advice and mirror in paint an aspect of this scientific principle to allow an unfolding to occur from an area not amenable to manual manipulation, this intrigues me and tempts me to explore further."
 
Gail Troth graduated in 2003 from the University of Central England with a first class honours degree in Fine Art. She was celebrated with the Golley Slater Fine Art Award in the same year. Since then she has continued to be in demand and her most recent exhibitions have included 'Art & Islam' at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, and 'Sense & Sensuality' at the Bankside gallery in London.
