Brave Little Pixel Sketchbook

Strengths

You are producing some very interesting and original work – in particular the online game as a gallery and the exhibition piece. Your concepts are tighter and articulate best when you operate in the digital space. This is because they entail strategies of engagement and a certain playful intelligence.

You have set up a display devise that challenges your viewer, by degree, and does ask for quite a commitment to the work. Which is taking a risk with your audience, this intention is no bad thing…when it pays off. You do need to bring more consideration to framing your work in the gallery space.

There are some very inventive gestures in the processes he has offered to view in his main sketchbook, signs of an ability of recognition in the world an ability to locate beauty or a disjuncture (of material or a process).

One of the three small books (main sketchbook) shows a wide ranging practice, an output that does indeed span both the digital and the physical sets of materials and processes, you can see nuanced translations of your aesthetic move across your chosen media (more of this insight). (We love the sketch-note book of ‘analogue’ visual play - especially as a studio-based accompaniment to the other conceptual-digital work = strong overall impression of your practice)

We applaud your intension to offer a live element to your show, only it’s framing needs to be refined further. Good artist sources.

Areas to be developed

More reflection on your position and identity within the online world required, You offer critical readings into issues of digital art and the post human landscape, but this needs to be framed better and made more accessible. We are unsure about the series of digital paintings – these seem to be (as yet) unreadable entities, in comparison to many of your other works. These still need you to frame them, to take a clear position when it comes to unquantifiable qualities of them.
