My dissertation focused on the development of digital technology and examined the ways in which the notion of originality has been questioned and challenged.

The images on this page visualise the ideas within my dissertation and are a current piece of work which I am still creating.

These digital images are centred on enhancing detail from canvases which I constructed using portrait images. I burnt and put these images through a food processor, mixed them with PVA glue and ink and painted them onto canvases.

I then re-photographed the canvases depicting a small detail from it and printed it on a large scale. By doing this I was exploring the idea of deconstructing the original image and the death of the image due to digital technology.
