David and I were honored to be one of several groups of local artists asked to create unique projections for LUNA FETE 2018’s Gallier Hall site. Four groups were each given a season to loosely interpret, and we had Winter. Take a look at the projection documentation here.
“Egan’s digital blooms recall the long tradition of botanical art, or art that relates to plants….artists such as Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) illustrated all aspects of a plant’s form, from seedling to bud and bloom, not only to produce an aesthetic rendering but also a scientific record. Egan, by contrast, manipulates digital images of plant life in order to question how technology alters perceptions of the natural world.” – Elizabeth Weinstein

Alex Kershaw is an artist working toward an M.A. in art in Scotland, who contacted me for an interview as a part of their degree requirements. Wow! A kindred spirit and a thorough documentation of the study and thought processes can be found at this site: https://alexkershawmajournal.wordpress.com/ Alex’s interview of me is found here, and an interview with another New Orleans artist, Michel Varisco! Thank you Alex! Your online journal is a great resource and your work is beautiful.
