Tulip Variations

Beskrivning

In recent years, I have been exploring various randomized processes within a digital workflow, working with or against the preset algorithms found in image processing software. I am trying to find new approaches to working with photography in a digital age, making the computer the principal instrument for my practice. Each body of work follows a few strict conceptual rules, but I also like to add elements of chance to impact the result. I want to be surprised by my own work; otherwise, the creative process becomes boring to me. So, I was happily surprised one day while making inkjet prints when I accidentally removed the USB memory with the TIFF file being printed. The printer then repeated a single line of pixels. The result was minimalistic and abstract, and it instantly intrigued me.
