And God taketh away..., 2022

here’s a piece that will be shown in an upcoming exhibition very soon! constructed out of a bamboo armature and paper maché and adorned with found materials and paint, this became one of my favorite works of art i’ve ever made.  and yes, it lights up :)

Three paintings about wings.

The canvases are all stained with different materials I found while camping. The first is charcoal, the second is dried leaves, and the third is grass. They all smell like the material (even now after a week), I wish I could share smells, but unfortunately, the technology just isn't there yet :(

The audio was also partially made during camping. It's random improvisation on my kalimba, combined with bird songs and other nature noises. At home, I edited it more and added glitch effects that I got by converting a pdf map of the area where I was camping into raw data.

This was really fun, I'd love to hear what people think of sort of environment based work, and I'd love to make more in the future.
