Life Through a Digital Filter

Life Through a Digital Filter’ is a continuation of the work and research I developed through my postgraduate course. I wanted to make work that reflected the present day and the anxiety that so many people experience on a daily basis. This anxiety which is impacted by the frenzy of modern-day life. The subject matter in the artwork is focused on certain areas of everyday life, such as consumerism and social media, particularly filtered images. This new collection of artworks is painted in negative, they require the viewer to experience the art through the use of a device to see the original image. As society finds it almost impossible to live without the aid of digital devices, my work addresses these issues through the use of Illusion, juxtaposing a digital aesthetic with hand-made traditional techniques.
