ARTIST STATEMENT
When I see a vibrant flower, I imagine using it as a paint brush. I capture the flower in motion and use a modified JS script to corrupt the footage. The processed pixels reveal the painterly movement of color. To preserve the flower’s form, I composite it back on top of the glitched footage. The result is a gestural feeling that resembles my ambition: painting with flowers.
