Mahler and LeWitt Studios
The following body of work was created as part of my 1-month residency at Mahler and LeWitt Studios in Spoleto, Italy, with support by the UAL AER Art for the Environment Residency Programme. I developed my practice focusing on two different methods of working: studio based work and physical exploration. I had the opportunity to examine first-hand the dialogue created between the old town of Spoleto and the surrounding natural elements, through a series of walks.
I became interested in the notion of distortion of a series of landscape photographs taken during the walks by experimenting with the elements of fragmentation and repetition. The works created merge the immense non-organic flows of life that constitute the landscape, such as mountains and forests with the strict perfection and precision of geometry, as a symbol of the humanmade and the artificial.
Some of the artworks contain digitally processed photographs which can be viewed with cyan and red lenses as 3D anaglyphs. (2023)
