The Imagination of Matter project - Form and Order 02

Matter, its dynamic qualities and underestimated ‘imagination’, is the underlying metaphor and actual substance I use while generating my works. The incorporation of technology allows me an exposure and investigation at multiple scales and durations within a painting process. So while dynamic ‘material processes’ provide me an unlimited set of brushes, technology operates as my multiple and asynchronous organ of capturing. Rather than painting I am “growing” images by the agency of materials (colors and mediums). The composition in the Petri dish becomes active and generates ‘material chaotic processes’, out of which a ‘colony’ of images emerges. The incorporation of technological (i.e. camera or 3D scanner) allows the exploration of new edges in the creative process and the development of an aesthetic intuition that belongs to the current rushing transition and hybridization and which echoes the quest for ephemeral references and slow-downs that accompanies it.
