Signature Art Prize 2015 Long Listed Artwork - Photography and Video I specialise in the technique of scanography, resulting in work that is both experimental and spontaneous. With my childhood passion lying in painting, I have been combining these two elements to create work outside of the social normality. Using the scanner as both a camera and a canvas, I question the way art is formed and approach the idea of creating art in a new light. My use of the scanner in this way is unique in this area and it helps me to stand out from other artists in this medium. My current practice is exploring the nature of fluids, examining the reactions that occur when different fluids combine, but also the dynamic and vibrant patterns that naturally form. This piece for me is my signature piece for 2015. It is the perfection of my recent experiments into using saliva as a base fluid and combining this with various household fluids to generate chemical reactions. This particular fluid combination creates a variety of smoky layers, combining the aesthetic beauty of natural forming patterns with the vibrancy of man-made colours. The circular framing of the piece draws in the eye but is reflective of the microscopic nature of my work, examining these tiny reactions and enlarging them to a larger scale. My work has previous been referred to as having a cosmic element and the circle also plays upon this element making the pieces appear planetary and toying with the ideas of microcosm vs. macrocosm.
