By Clay Bodvin, from the Gridded-Room Series. A found, pre-composed interior – borrowed and appropriated from the historical museum-house culture and environment. Presented as the
backdrop for a serial-pattern collage that• features everyday objects used as colour/pattern devices;
• is reminiscent of the Serial Painting genre; and
• references the tradition of still life painting.
It has been said, variously, that art now functions less like a self-contained, completed truth and more like an evolving experiment. Bearing this in mind, I have established a creative approach which re-assesses traditional notions of the painted surface by
• exploiting the rendering capabilities of digital media;
• emphasising the general over the particular and the archetypal
over the actual; and
• producing new narratives which result from the technological processes
being used.
