Mother
Please note: all collections will consist of only 10 pieces, each of them 1/1 editions. I will only release one collection each year.
The Piece: Mother
For my genesis NFT I created a piece of great meaning to me. I became a mother for the first time this year and these swallows have been nesting outside my studio. It has been amazing to see the parallels of motherhood. The work is an amalgamation of traditional and digital techniques.
Whilst contemporary art is becoming more abstract and convoluted - but animation moves towards perfecting realism - this piece 'breaks the rules' by combining a fundamentally aesthetic traditional work with intentionally simplistic and elegant animation. The outcome is something surprisingly captivating.
The 2021 Collection
With the rise of NFTs, we are seeing an artistic revolution gravitating back to the instincts of taste. This will be seen in history as pioneering, and my genesis collection is a celebration of this movement. Kant distinguished between judgement of taste and cognitive judgement. The latter ascribes goodness to things, the former is an instinctive response to something: the feeling you get from encountering something you perceive as beautiful. Too often in Art today this distinction is overlooked, and work with the teleology of taste alone is belittled or mocked. Whilst I enjoy pieces that provoke intellectual stimulation, this is secondary to the primary purpose of a work. It must make you feel something. This collection comprises of pieces that are designed to evoke an instinctive sense of beauty.
