My digital scans of
coconut offer me taken the tradition of still life and nature studies, which is
a type of symbolic work of art especially associated with Northen European
still life in Flanders & the Netherlands in the 16th & 17th centuries
thought loosely translated corresponds to the meaninglessness of earthly life
& the transient nature of vanity. I taken these images with my flatbed
scanner, rather than with a camera, and their creation avoid any lens
based processes. In one hand my works embody a more direct relationship between
the object represented ant the support on which the image lies and places them
closer to prints or photograms than to photographs also allows for transferred
of a great amount of detail with a creating a delicate texture and optimism
that give emphasis to the coconut’s decay as a natural beauty. This process gives me a insight of relationship between science and
art.
