Co-creating is a passion of mine, and the process of collaboration and inclusion inspires me. My latest work takes on an interactive flair where I curate collections of painted orbs that can move around on a glass backboard covered with textured or painted paper. I ask the viewer to participate in the creative process by shifting these disks into new arrangements.
By moving a series of disks, the viewer takes over as the artist, creating something they can call their own. The compositions can change daily – if desired. The imagery applied to the movable pieces is abstract, using a layering technique of organic and geometric shapes to create something energetic and exciting.
Interactive fine art isn’t new. However, making beautiful, easy, accessible interactive paintings has been sparse. Also, AI is here. Not all of us want to consume art digitally. Tactile pieces you can touch and hold give us a physical experience that connects the viewer more intimately with the artwork.
I want this assemblage of art taken away to a new home, engaged with, and reimagined into unique creations the viewer can call their own.
There is plenty of room for this idea to evolve, and I look forward to lots of co-creating on future projects.
