EatTheNight

By: Cora Weiss

Master of Fine Arts

‘EatTheNight’ (Dec.2021) is an oil painting on unstretched canvas approx. 71 by 61cm. It originally came from a racetrack photo I’d saved to my desktop and kept for a while. The painting moved away from that source, as all paintings do.

My practice is a modular system of paintings, prints, photographs and words. Each fragment is activated by another. Through this format, I play with the (in)balance between conscious and subconscious decision-making to transition between fiction and reality. I am concerned with constructing atmospheres through this way of working, highlighting the magic of observing reality and dipping it into fiction and expression.
[My Agenda: What happens in the gap between inner visions and their external creation?
Eat the night, image-feelings: painted pact, ruptured surface
It is all in the edges.]
