About artwork: Flowerbomb is a Giant Allium seed head on a mirror surface, forming a repeat, distorted pattern as though it were exploding. Before painting, when the image was digitally cleaned up, it left behind telltale signs of my interference in the form of white splatters. I decided to leave this dandruff, resembling old analogue tv static as an admission of my tampering. The image was painted in oils and became part of a body of work titled (of course) "Interference'. https://www.myrajago.com/copy-of-myr
