During my Bachelor of Design education, I participated in a digital art class, which focused on using the same industry software used in Visual Communication Design. The digital art class focused on creating experimental works of art through the digital modality.
Using a digital scanner as a means of capturing images, Scanography Three is a composite image comprising of seashells. Seashells were scanned at various resolutions and arranged into layers. Physical art techniques such as etching – or in this case erasing – through layers were applied to reveal underlying layers. Custom brushes were used to create unique tools for the etching process. The end result is an abstract expression of art.
Floral Quilt is a three-by-three work of art that is inspired by granny squares. Granny squares are small, crocheted squares. Multiple granny squares are crocheted together to create a larger quilt.
After sketching different granny squares and drawing the layout, photos of flora and fauna where used to fill the shapes. To process and abstract the photos, Illustrator’s Image Trace tool was used to convert pixels into vectors.
