Along with the rest of the world, my work has stepped onto digital platforms in 2020.
This opened up opportunities to get back to making art, completely process focused, with no expectations of what would be created.
The original "Petals", (currently on display in Boom Studios on Main Street, Bangor Northern Ireland) was created through a digital abstract art class.
The platform we used was Zoom, which at the time had some issues.
These issues appeared on my screen when I attended a group call, which was "ZoomBombed", interrupting a live feed and sharing disturbing, upsetting images.
My purpose is "making things.making things better".
This troubling experience motivated me to pull it into a positive. That this experience would have a better outcome than haunting imagery.
I pushed & pulled the image created in the online class to a final point, echoing the viral theme of 2020 into a floral abstract piece.
The original work is on Hahnemuhle Aquarell 425g/m acid free.
30cmx40cm, with Liquitex Inks, finished with Uni Posca and Liquitex pouring medium.
I have created 3 x art products now available in my online shop
100% of the profit of sales of this range will be donated to the NSPCC to support their work with children.
