A Translation: a hand-painted animation
Time-Based Forms
Oil painting on glass animation
In my body of work, the artmaking process behind each painted frame, Perspex plate and piece of piano music involved my hands. Hands translate artists’ emotions into art. Every form of art involves an intrinsic passion surrounded from a young age by the light of learning and encouragement. This light gradually transitions into the darkness where the emotion lies, then through the hands into the final artwork. I represent this progression in the piano’s black and white keys. I was inspired by how an orchestra conductor’s hands reveal the expression of a musical piece, binding rhythm to emotion.
The study and interpretation of the artist Aleksandr Petrov, The Old Man And The Sea have influenced my artmaking practice.
