"Epilogue"

"Epilogue" 2024 1/1 epilogue: noun - "a speech or piece of text that is added to the end of a play or book, often giving a short statement about what happens to the characters after the play or book finishes" 2023 was an emotional rollercoaster for me – a time of great reflection, introspection and heartache but also some of my proudest artistic achievements. Before focusing on the final dynamic piece in the series, "Four Seasons", I wanted to compose one final static composition that would function as an end point to the series. "Epilogue" was created at the start of 2024, and the piece has been used to digitally map the displacement and manipulation that runs through the moving image sequence. This piece offers a more digitally native form than the rest of the series, intentionally building structure inspired by Rothko’s colour field paintings, but introducing a new aesthetic to how I think about painting as a whole. Digital abstraction and pixel manipulation. 4200x5709px at 300dpi.
