Jade Smith

My practise investigates the pressures of maintaining a connection to the present, with moving image as my primary medium. I explore and blur the line between conventional and new media through the application of both digital and physical techniques. By experimenting with different video editing techniques, I strive to create engaging visual material which connote emotion. I am interested in creating simplistic compositions to convey complex feeling of doubt. Through this my work challenges the strain and demands we hold ourselves to. These ideas of self-pressure being expressed alongside a bright pink colour pallet, I hope to create a feeling of comfort and reassurance for the audience, conveying a positive perspective on such feelings. In addition to my technical explorations, I am also intrigued by technology's place in fine art and the boundaries between the physical and the digital.
