The idea for this series of paintings developed after purchasing some Rauschenberg Wallpaper (from a wallpaper factory in the German town of Rauschenberg). The fake wood-grained panelling and brick-styled designs proved interesting sources for making paintings from; thus producing a fake of a fake. Also being a play on the famous quote of the American artist Robert Rauschenberg, of working in the gap between art and life. The gap between painting and wallpaper.

The work has  now evolved ; from initially creating a single snapshot of an artificial representation of nature ; to creating collages of different types of wallpapers. These are then used as studies  from which  the paintings are made.
