Hvatvetna Painting

My work embodies an alliance between science and art, exploring aesthetic properties found within chemistry and the cosmos. Influenced by science fiction and portrayals of space, the unseen is made visible, producing false landscapes. My study of Hubble Telescopic images and hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions, made observable through dye, underpins the works. Space imagery permits a vision into the unknown that humans could never otherwise experience; science links to art through the shared trait of observation, united by the image. The invention of the telescope allowed mankind to consider objects previously unseen, however, we assume these Hubble images are reality. Hubble collects digital data invisible to the eye; the finalised image requires preferences to be made regarding colour to make visible the unseen. Due to colour alterations and cropping there is no definitive representation of an object within space. What is actually in space is not what we see in Hubble images. My experiments with chemicals and dye create fabricated landscapes, emphasising the unseen; epitomising Hubble. They no longer display a still of reality, but a composite image displaying a fusion of chemical reactions and paint; amalgamating science and artistic licence. These ‘fictitious’ realms are then used to produce new images used as a reference point for my paintings. I embody the wispiness of cosmic clouds, blending numerous thin layers, to create a sense of depth. The resin finish creates the lens-like separation from the image, to connect to its origin, whilst heightening its colours. Through science, artistry is created.
