The works in this series have been selected to show shifting changes of concept, composition and colour that confronts the viewer to assess the consistency of what is around us. This is assisted by the morphing of images on a 2 dimensional field.
“One of the main mediums in my works that assists in the development of the concept is reflective hologram with its dynamic spectral qualities, which corresponds to my interest in change/movement /multiplicity. It has always struck me, that to look at the world as stilled moments is unsatisfying – like an unfinished story. My aim has/is to find ways that show more without relying on one static image of view.”
”The Futurists (a term coined by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti), emphasized discarding the static and irrelevant art of the past. They celebrated change, originality, and innovation in culture and society and glorified the new technology of the twentieth century, with emphasis on dynamism, speed, energy and power. They developed concepts such as “simultaneous vision” – the concept of combining different viewpoints of a subject into a single, coherent image, and “simultaneity – the rendering of motion by simultaneously showing many aspects of a moving object. This interest in capturing a single moment in a series of planes was derived from cubism. Artists working with these concepts at that time were Balla, Picasso, Braque and Du Champ. Although not influenced by these artists, I have found them inspiring. In a similar way my work relies on change and multiplicity. “
