Nouveau Mondes by Holly Marie Armishaw

Digital imaging is not just a technical tool in contemporary art, but also a conceptual form of expression. This photographic series gives form to metaphysical concepts such as those discussed in the cosmological studies of quantum physics. More specifically, the digital morphs represent portals to another dimension and are an allusion to today’s most highly respected theory of the universe - the “wormhole” theory. Wormholes are hypothetical portals that bridge the space-time continuum. The images are also metaphors, which may be subjective in meaning for each viewer. For some they may represent something of longing - material, spiritual, or otherwise. For others, these images may represent fear of the unknown, perhaps alien or menacing. These digital composites combing 2D imagery with 3D illusions represent additional dimensions or other universes where infinite possibilities are realized and each of our subjective interpretations of reality are possible.
