Glass Experiment

Untitled, Chaz Howkins, 2017, acrylic paint on glass

For this piece I smashed the glass and then painted on it and on reflection decided that for the next painting I would paint on the glass first and then smash it.

Shattered Screen, Chaz Howkins, 2017, acrylic on glass

For this piece I painted directly onto glass, which I then smashed and reassembled.  I think this effect is visually interesting but may be a slightly too violent approach to portraying my subject matter.  I also think it's not as obvious as I'd imagined that the painting is done on glass as it has lost its reflective quality, so I will go over it in a glossy coat.
