Capturing and fragmenting light waves, Cosmic Soup generates alchemic distortions - textural fields of analogue noise that hover over diffused colour scapes, expanding the picture plane into a sculptural dimension. Light refracts, shifting spatial perception and attuning our senses to its fluid presence.
These photographic works emerge from an experimental process: painting onto sheets of glass, then soaking the resulting film in salt, vinegar, and other secret ingredients. Transparent photographic prints are layered over acrylic paintings, allowing luminous, distorted colour fields to seep through fragmented imagery.
Accompanied by large-format colour field paintings on canvas and a custom-made soundscape, Cosmic Soup offers an immersive voyage into the interplay of texture, light, and sonic resonance.
