A Print of a digital artwork.
The shape of the human heart inspired this aesthetic representation of the relationship between man, woman and nature. We all share the same origin — we are all made of atoms and cells. Although I alter shapes, there is still a strong sense of the familiar, and the variety of techniques and textures used gives an ethereal quality to the work. In essence, this works are centred on the concept of interconnectedness – how we are all inextricably and unfathomably bound to the earth and to one another; how we are all made of the same “stuff”.
The technique supports the ARS. I started making art again for the first time in a long time, during South Africa's Lockdown period. I had to recycle pieces of old artworks or textures from cut-offs. I decided to transfer some of this chaotic charm into digital artworks, where the pieces of paint texture can be digitally cut out and used over and over again with much less wastage and more room for experimentation.
