Art Lab Butterfly Effect

Haegue Yang’s wallpaper work Non-Linear and Non-Periodic Dynamics, 2020, features digitally layered images of natural phenomena such as lightning and stormy seas along with local Kamberri/Canberra references, such as Lake Burley Griffin, Kurrajong pods, canoe trees and Bogong moths. The work draws on the artist’s interest in the ‘butterfly effect’ theory in which tiny actions occurring in one place may have profound impacts in another.

Inspired by Yang’s work, join digital artist and visual arts educator April Phillips, Galari-Wiradjuri people, in an online Art lab. This workshop will cover the basic steps to create a digital artwork using glyphs to construct form, movement and layers that reflect on the impact our actions have.
