About artwork: Cast a dream and watch it glide! is a photographic print with title borrowed from lyrics of song "Confines" by Black Pumas. This work was created during first lockdown and was then exhibited at Smedkova's Degree show called "Not a degree show" This work is looking at confined digital space through use of digital and physical landscape. Using my own as well as "borrowed" imagery from the internet to create textures onto Adobe dimension 3d models. Borrowing lyrics to create a title for this work also mimics the idea behind ownership of imagery on the internet. Are they mine, yours or are they for us all to use them and abuse them?
