Chasing Dreams is the second created from my 2020 series which explores virtual abstract landscapes of the internet. This embroidered painting is an uplifting and elegant piece that embodies a sense of ethereal freedom. With its embroidered data playfully travelling through a hazey and vast landscape, it evokes a feeling of constant movement and shifting light in search of answers. Although the individual spheres represent personal data usage, each sphere also symbolises our dreams, our desires and our asperations as we navigate through life. It celebrates and serves to remind us to keep chasing our dreams. The 2020 series is a body of embroidered paintings that examine and bring into focus our rituals, our footprints, our individual journey through an online landscape. The work holds up an abstracted mirror to ourselves and explores another way of visualising our own identities in a technology led era. Whilst their very substance is created from traditional thread and paint which serves to remind us of our reality; the tactile stitches into the rough canvas mean you can feel the data under your fingertips. Through carefully calculated scale bubble diagrams, stitched data dances amongst my personal interpretations of the surreal and expressive landscapes of the internet. Each click, another connection another thread; this creates our virtual existence, our web of intertwined data. As unique to us as our DNA, our personal data is almost like an abstracted self-portrait, capturing our meandering explorations of a world we can’t physically see or touch or smell, yet we’re compelled to exist within. We feed off it, whilst leaving a trail of breadcrumbs.
