I am very excited to be sharing some new artworks as crypto editions on the marketplaces Rarible and Mintable.
These hand crafted digital mosaic vectors are painstakingly produced using methods that echo the techniques pioneered by the Mesopotamians nearly 3000 years ago. For me it is very poignant that an ancient technique such as this is employed in this new and emerging landscape- with crypto art currently such a divisive concept in the artworld.
Each geometric element – in this particular series tessellating triangles – is hand rendered to match its source material… usually found images from vintage photographic collections that I have amassed on my travels in Brazil, Thailand and China. The vector mosaics are rendered element by element to make the finished digital file, which is then made available as a Non Fungible Token on the Ethereum blockchain.
Unfortunately at present gas prices to actually mint the NFTs are excruciatingly high – but with the mosaic production process taking as long as it does, having to wait until prices fall will not slow down the release of new pieces as each one actually takes ages!
