VCA ART 2021

Travis Ficarra

Master of Fine Art

My practice incorporates 3D modelling, digital mediums and painting. I am interested in the intersection of digital and analogue modes of representation, oscillations between painting and the screen, transferral between virtual space and flatness, and the relationship to view and perspective. At this intersection exists a site of tension between the inside and the outside – a threshold as both boundary and bridge. Drawing on notions of virtuality, illusion and fantasy, the resultant work occupies a realm of collapsing frames, surface effect and hollow facade.
