Online Connection
Casey Mohan
Acrylic on canvas board, 12in × 10in
This piece online connection is the beginning of my exploration of the online world and the ideas of working with symbols and shapes that can be associated with or represent those that we see on a day-to-day basis when consuming online media. These ideas can be transferred to the way that we feel when seeing this imagery, this painting is planned to work with a calmer feeling with less layers to avoid overwhelming feelings. As I continue this practice, I will be working in several layers to represent my personal associations that I have with online platforms.
Rafaël Rozendaal’s colourful weavings within the group of work for “abstract browsing” has inspired me through the use of colour and the minimalistic style of work he has created using a series of different shapes within each other.
