SHIFT Exhibition
project description
SHIFT originated as my ‘handmade’ abstract watercolour, gouache and pastel paintings on paper which I scanned and then digitally manipulated using a coded processing technique of ‘pixel-sorting’ that distorts and enhances to creatively convert the originals into seemingly three-dimensional crystalline curtains and mysterious landscapes.
I have maintained some balance between the original medium and the pixel-sorted manipulation, so the digital print retains a sense of the painterly yet gains an enriched sense of the romantic, an unexpected outcome from a mechanical intervention.
Visual and audio glitches show us a fallible, ‘accidental’ human side of technology. I find it almost endearing and view my role exploiting these accidental art outcomes as a kind of collaboration
