It was technically challenging to create one big piece of tiny, built up, individual cells. I was careful to try and keep the balance between individual cells and the piece as a whole. I tried to create a surface with subtle colour waves which created feeling and tension.
The women series is subtle expression of Anthropomorphism – I wanted to create suggestive story about women as trees; standing alone, fixed firmly on the ground. They are standing together like trees in a forest… I’m planning to expanding this series in the future.
