Billows #102

I am tracing a peculiar connection between various latent states and billowing bodies; between the figures we see in clouds and pseudo-random configurations we recognize as clouds.

Recognizing embedded images in the clouds can be explained as a byproduct of our brains processing visual data. In the generative setting of this project, Billows, basic geometric shapes combine to form a vast array of fantastical creations: croissants, radishes, egg white floaters in yellow cream (œufs à la neige, Schneenockerl or šnenokle) if we are famished, or otherwise various billowy beings and cartoonish, stylized clouds. Constantly changing and adapting to whatever the spectator wants them to be, clouds continue to astound not just artists, but everyone willing to simply look up and dream.

This project is part of the Strange Skies group show with Dawn Contemporary on Alba.art
