Because I other things in life have kept me stupidly busy recently and there has been no new art for a while. Here are the pieces that made up my Jumpgates series, completed between 2019 and 2021.
A mix of 2d and 3d techniques were used in creating these.
A 饝惔饝惗饝悷饝惗 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
