Absurd World
Others
This 3D painting installation is an autobiographical presentation of life online. From the point of view of a regular 23 year old who has grown up on the Internet. She is part of the last generation who can remember what life was like before the internet. Growing up to lead a dual life between the real and digital world.
The paintings play with ideas of 'space inside the internet'. Drawing similarities between the endless world behind the framework of a screen and the infinite possibilities that can be framed within the context of painting. You can reinvent your entire world on the internet the same way a painter can on the surface of the canvas. This is freeing and endlessly exciting all at once and at the same time chaotic and restrictive.
The layers and materials in the paintings slip between digital and painterly, playing with the optical effects of digital and spontaneous marks on the surface of the painting. A continuous exploration of how the digital world can inform the physical practice of paintings.
