Glitch Paintings 2022

In a white room with concrete floors, 10 posters are displayed side by side in a photo taken at an angle.

These posters were completed during my Honours year of my BFA Program at the University of Manitoba. Before the introduction of technology to my work, my paintings show off the materiality of the paint as well as the surface they are on. Once scanned in high definition, these qualities are amplified due to the flatness of the new image. However, they now have a sort of intentionality to them once given space on a digital screen. I take these images to Photoshop to rudimentarily edit them with naive mark-making and tools like the Spot Heal Brush Tool, which makes the program anticipate what I am trying to “fix”, often introducing colours that were never there, and amplifying the texture.

In the corner of a white room with concrete floors, flag-like sheets are hung up on the wall so that they are folding and creased in the middle. Two are in the middle of the wall, one is half on the floor and two more are crumpled on the ground.

These flags were completed during my Honours year of my BFA Program at the University of Manitoba. This body of work focused on legitimizing mistakes that are typically either edited out or avoided. Such “mistakes” include moiré lines, over-saturation, pixelation, and blurriness. I found forgettable photos that I had taken in the past and digitally introduced these characteristics, and then printed them on poly-silk, which flows in a very synthetic and almost digital way; when I had planned how to present these pieces, I made mockups in a program that simulated flowing fabric and behaved very similar to the material that I printed the images on. After translating these images from digital to physical, the mistakes became features of the work.
