after vasarely

“I was drawn to the tumescence of some of Vasarely’s op-art – that slight sense they give of deformations produced by swelling—of blisters, goitres, galls and burls. I’ve got these big glass paper-weight things that are filled with suspended bubbles, and these images began with me filming them on my 4K webcam as I spun them through 360 degrees… I was then able to process the footage through various types of layering and manipulation to produce these resulting images. Some of them are very organic in a ‘Fantastic Voyage’ style, while others were nudging nicely towards ‘Pearl and Dean.’” August 2024
