My major concern with creating the piece was that I needed to ensure it is impressed by Caroline’s story however that it stays a bit of artwork in its personal proper, that it goes past being an editorial illustration. So it’s loosely impressed by what I examine her, however once I sat down to jot down down and sketch concepts I used to be actually going extra into this intuitive mode, which I all the time do when creating artwork, versus the extra problem-solving strategy when doing character design. Creating a bit like this includes quite a lot of trial and error, and I over-paint many of the parts quite a few instances till they’re in an ideal relation and converse to me. I am very fascinated by how putting acquainted objects and figures in new constellations creates new layers of context and that means. From a proper perspective, I like to work on this thrilling realm between abstraction and figuration, and I typically juxtapose these seemingly contradictory parts. I additionally like the concept the place that I am depicting and shaping in my work, a form of “digital limbo” truly exists in an alternate actuality, and that I am merely excavating these fragments of reminiscence like an archeologist.
