Lowpixel-images collection
Today’s high-tech level of living whit distinctive high-resolution images and manipulated nature, made me think of the mythic idea of the far east in the 18th century, the lacquer work, the Chinoiseries and the disciplined nature as in a bonsai tree.

My approach is to use today’s technique and reduce it into something that reminds of old craft techniques and methods, combined with today’s techniques.

By reducing the resolution of the images they become abstract, shape and contrast make the images more into a pattern. I have used the pattern and turned it into a digital drawing, which have been programmed into a machine that cuts out the images. In this way the low resolution images leaves a long lasting footprint of its appearing, a time document of today.


"LOWPIXEL-IMAGES COLLECTION is part of RARITY_WOMEN ONLY A NEW FEMALE PROJECT SPONSORED BY VERARDO WHICH,THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF A LIMITED QUANTITY OF PIECES, HAS THE AIM OF TALKING ABOUT THE CREATIVITY OF WOMEN IN DESIGN AND ART. CONTEMPORARY FEMALE DESIGNERS AND FEMALE ARTISTS INTERPRET THE TIMES WE ARE LIVING IN AND ENACT THEIR INTUITIONS THAT ARE THE RESULT OF SENSITIVITY, ENERGY AND SENSE OF BEAUTY, CHANGING THE PERSPECTIVE ITSELF OF THE OBJECTS PRESENTED, OBJECTS WITH A SOUL AND THAT ARE CAPABLE OF TALKING ABOUT WHO YOU ARE, RATHER THAN PRODUCTS THAT SIMPLY TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU POSSESS. OBJECTS THAT TAKE SHAPE IN HANDICRAFT WORKSHOPS AND THAT ALLOW YOU TO RELIVE CONCEPTS SUCH AS LIMITEDNESS, MANUAL SKILL, UNIQUENESS, IN FULL CONTRAST WITH THE RULES OF MASS PRODUCTION, INTERESTED MAINLY IN QUANTITIES." http://www.verardoitalia.it/
