Katy Dove, Gondla, 2005
animated watercolor painting
3 min 20 sec
collection of Polly & Mark Addison
Conveying a sense of playfulness and whimsy not typically encountered in media art, Katy Dove’s work is characterized by an organic and informal nature. Her process begins with an automatic drawing of watercolor on paper, which is then scanned and edited on the computer. Paired with music, the animated watercolor paintings seem to leap and twirl, bend and twist, fade in and out, in a dance of lighthearted choreography.
