Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This visually striking artwork features a vibrant, multi-colored sculptural piece encased in a silver, translucent covering. The composition combines various geometric shapes and abstract patterns, creating a dynamic and eye-catching design. The use of bold, contrasting colors, including yellow, green, blue, and pink, gives the sculpture a sense of energy and playfulness. The underlying structure appears to be a combination of materials, possibly incorporating elements of found or repurposed objects. Overall, the work reflects a contemporary, experimental approach to sculpture, blending visual intrigue with a sense of whimsy and imagination. The artist's intention may be to explore themes of transformation, materiality, or the interplay between the visible and the concealed. ...

Jemima Wyman is interested in the notion of visual resistance through camouflage, patterning and masking. The artist – a palawa woman who is a descendant of the pairrebeener people of tebrakunna and poredareme – investigates and considers camouflage, when used by marginalised groups, as a tactic and subversive political and social strategy used to gain counter-power in conflict zones. Wyman recognises the importance of opacity in a post-truth society marred by state surveillance and hyper-transparency. Not only does camouflage and masking obscure identity, but ‘communal skins’ can act as a binding agent, creating collective identities; ‘when worn, a mask may permit an individual to simultaneously transgress social boundaries while belonging to a group. In this way, identity is expressed yet anonymity is protected.’ Written by Goldsmiths CCA ...
