Elefante #74

*Elefante* builds on my previous long-form work and pushes it to incorporate multiple remixed canvases using a single photograph of a giant Yucca (Latin name - Yucca elephantipes) as a starting point. The project blends elements of Brutalism, Concrete art, and collage to create abstract displays of coloured forms and photography, some reminiscent of architecture, some paper cut-outs. I aimed for the pieces to ‘scan’ well from a distance or at smaller sizes, but also to have a more 'material' quality than some of my prior work. I wanted texture without skeuomorphism.
