I am a Collage Artist who works in both analogue and digital forms. My central concern is the spatial nature of digital worlds and asking: what do we disconnect from, without ourselves, when we connect to the digital sphere? I explore the similarity between trees and humanity through code, web art and animation.
In this latest piece, I have created a generative collage with an L-System structure. The aim is to create something that, if stumbled across, would simulate important dynamics of interacting with nature. ‘Internet Tree’ is the second piece in a line of work that explores creating spaces, to exist online, that both form by themselves and are interactable: a ‘Forest of the Web’.
