"A Modern Genesis : Spring Garden'' is an exploration of found objects via Digital art. For this collection I wanted to explore something a bit different from my traditional practice, which is normally rooted in completely new designs that I have created based on my studies and inspirations However, for A Modern Genesis I worked based off an existing Golestan Tabriz carpet. By working directly from an existing carpet design (found object) I wanted to lean into the idea of creating anew from something which already existed. The second phase of this process was to completely 3D sculpt and animate each element of the found design. Reimagining what the original carpet weavers and designers may have intended. By recreating this work in 3d I am able to both literally and conceptually breathe new life into a pre-existing artwork. The finished piece is a completely Modern interpretation of an ancient artwork which feels new and exciting but still true to its original source.
