The Sky is a Multicolour

I work with installation and digital abstract imagery edited over iPhone and Photoshop. My work focuses on the aggressive political system and it's actors, examining how that impacts us through affect. As a response to the depressive reality of the political system I create digital abstractions of the world, like a computer trying to understand beauty and create beauty through over processing digital images.

My work focuses around abstract imagery of the sky generated through inceptionist principles, how it changes colour and how we are supported and nourished by it. I performed sky gazing rituals and meditated on potential end points to the sky while watching it change colour. I realised that there is no definable end point or start point to the sky. It becomes buried in us in every inhale and we become a part of it with every exhale. I explored this further through afterimages that are formed as a result of viewing the sky on a bright day, the light from the sky appears in the viewer’s eyelids as a negative phenotype imprint, for example the blue of the sky might turn orange or pink depending on weather conditions.

These are images of the sky presented as a diptych that have been edited over IPhone and Photoshop using an inceptionist framework.
