Pixelated Pathways

Pixelated Pathways is an exploration of my passion for colour, repetition, and nostalgia. These are ideas that have shaped a distinct visual relationship between original display technology of the 1980s and the aesthetics of the digital age. As an artist I have refused to partake in digital media, yet my subconscious cannot help but be influenced by this aesthetic. The process of mixing paint inspired me to experiment with subtle variations of colour in which gradients are meticulously painted using progressive palettes. While developing this series, I made connections to classic video games such as Pac-Man through the void-like background. The repetitive patterns and simple forms of these games correspond to the aesthetic of this series.
