Generation loss

RMIT, Brunswick campus

December 2023

Generation Loss, 2023 is an instance of my exploration into a personal visual system. The work is an amalgamation of repetition, abstraction, and geometric visual elements. The work utilises found pages from an aged copy of "Handbook of Art" by Graham Hopwood — a school text of mine. These pages function as the canvas for the work and a nod to memory. The intent is a juxtaposition of past and present, tradition and technology.

The grid formed by the book pages serves as a structured platform for the controlled exploration of form and content. This grid fosters a dialogue between graphic elements and unintentional art history references.

The integration of my art practice and interest in printing technologies in this work holds significance within the context of RMIT Graphic Design's print/teaching spaces. This amalgamation of teaching and creative practice is integral to my approach. It enables me to engage with a community of learners and makers.
