“100 Steps”
Digital Media
‘The aim of my
artwork is to take the audience on a visual journey. The journey starts with
brightly coloured Japanese origami shapes moving across my friends face and
body. These small pieces of paper represent instantaneous events that collide,
intertwine and collectively form a pathway on a journey. Normally we cannot see the events that
shape an individual, but my artwork allows the viewer to freeze a moment in
time and actually see the “life events” change direction and almost adapt their
own lively, upbeat personality. The bright origami paper represents a dream-like
surreal environment. My stop motion video is made up of hundreds of different
photographs, capturing those precious moments in time and allowing the viewer a
quick glimpse into someone’s life. Using digital media to express my ideas
allows me to taking my artwork to a place I could not reach through painting or
drawing.
