The Natural Line

This past year Téa become fascinated by the medium of virtual reality, in particular the implications of fusing art and technology to yield unique creations.

Exploring the medium of virtual reality, she discovered that when observing mountains via Google Earth, she could create beautiful forms and lines through purposefully manipulating the program. She recreated these scenes in oil paintings in order to highlight the clash of traditional mediums with futuristic technology. The weighted mountainous forms appear to float in the sky, connected by sinuous grids. This creates a sense of fluidity across all three of the pieces. Through using virtual reality technology in abstract ways, Téa creates a more concrete image that prompts viewers to question what they are really seeing. This lead to her series The Natural Line.
