Tempera on canvas
116.8 x 91.0 cmI drew a magnified part of Pieter Brueghel’s print Fortitude on a canvas and painted it with tempera. Since tempera is an egg-based pigment, the canvas would be sensitive and acutely vulnerable to environmental factors, having marks of weathering, dissolving, drying, and cracking on its surface. Such changes by the chemical reaction of the pigment manifest a dynamic vitality, which could be seen as another version with another medium of what I would normally do with digital moving images to display their movement dramatically through rhythmic editing.
