Avia Pictura #4

Avia Pictura #4 is a return to my painting origins rooted in the post-romantic sublime, but it’s empowered by all the creative advantages of a custom made software that emulates painting and drawing techniques. The program is also designed for sounds to contribute to the work, so recordings of Tui birds from New Zealand become “co-performers”, blending their random mark making into the digital canvas, sketching a visual framework for me to intuitively respond to. The video is done in one take, with no cuts or edits and ultimately highlights this synaesthetic and interactive process over the final result.
