Lock Screen III

Vector illustration with digital collage, (1136 x 640 326 ppi).


These images fit the specs of an iPhone 5 screen (my current model) to serve as a wallpaper for both the lock screen and the home screen. The altered colours of the second image (and burred resolution) facilitate a subtle transition to the home screen, as animated by the standard operating system of the phone.

This is the third composition for iPhone I have made, and this time it is purely digital, with the vector paths drawn in Adobe illustrator and the background skin a pixel sorted image made from a digital photograph I took with my iPhone. Pixel sorting is a method of distorting an image by shifting the positions of pixels using a code. I manipulated my photograph using a program called Processing and an open-source script written by experimental media artist Kim Asendorf.

These two images are free to use as your own lock screen and home screen backgrounds.

Unnamed Imaginary Exhibition, currently on view at Our Neon Foe, 411 Parramatta Rd Leichhardt.

To make something for the gallery space, a shop front window facing onto Parramatta road, I conceived of a painting in exploded view. Working from an image in my mind, I saw the wall parallel to the window as the ground of the painting and the geometries of the tiled floor as a grid from which linear structures could extend up, out and around in three dimensions.
I played with elements of symmetries, colour and depth, where painted surfaces interact with hand made structures of wood and play dough. This was an opportunity to experiment with ideas of painting and the expanded field, utilizing the entire gallery space to make a site-specific installation. Images from my mind extend out, and balance into reality.


The exhibition is open on week ends, 11am to 5pm until the 16th of April.
