'Walk With Me' marks a new evolution of The Wild Within, extending the project into glass, tile, and architectural materials.
The work depicts the interior of an abandoned sanatorium in Georgia, unfolding through a stairwell that once formed part of one of the Soviet Unionโs most celebrated spa destinations.
The use of hand-cut glass and architectural materials creates a direct connection to the built environment from which the subject originates. At the same time, each individual tessera echoes the structure of a digital pixel, connecting the ancient material language of mosaic to the digitally native techniques involved in creating the work.
So, Iโve been working on somethingโฆ
I recently relaunched what I used to call Colored by Pal as Paloma Projects, an art advisory and creative studio.
