Artwork Description

X and Y

This series of two paintings continue to utilise the glitch to explore disconnect, empathy, and human experience.

The female hand (X) features a horizontal glitch, while the male hand (Y) features it vertically. In this way I explore notions of subjectivity: while we may feel we can relate to one another or share the same human experiences, the way they manifest themselves in each of us can be profoundly different.

The negative space in these works is a very light shade of grey with a cooler tint. Each canvas is 35 cm x 35 cm. Both canvases are individually signed and wired so that they may be hung in any configuration. While this listing is for both pieces, they can be separated upon request. Individually, each artwork is $320.
