I am excited to reveal my artwork for LACMA + Cactiodlabs Remembrance of Things Future. This auction features artists Monica Rizzolii, Ix Shells, Emily Xie, Sarah Zucker, and myself. Each artist took inspiration from a piece in LACMA’s permanent collection to create their NFT for the project.
My digital animation Muted Refraction is inspired by the quilt 'Log Cabin (Barnraising Variation)' from Pennsylvania, circa 1865. I studied fibers in college and I have always loved the meditative quality of such a process oriented medium. Having grown up around my great grandmother’s hand-sewn quilts, I wanted to create a meditative piece that harnessed the trancelike experience of encountering these hypnotic patterns, extracting and enhancing the impact of color and line.
Muted Refraction is an edition of 100 & will be released March 8th here.
Remembrance of Things Future coincides with LACMA’s exhibition Coded: Art Enters the Computer Age, 1952-1982, a pivotal reappraisal of art in the age of the mainframe, organized by Leslie Jones, Curator of Prints and Drawings. Opening February 12, 2023 and running through July 2, 2023, Coded examines the critical, but long-overlooked relationship between early computer art and broader art movements of the time, such as Op Art, Fluxus, Conceptual Art and Minimalism. Following on the heels of the groundbreaking artists featured in Coded such as Vera Molnar and Manfred Mohr, the contemporary artists in Remembrance of Things Future point us back to the past and forward into the unknown.
