This started as a design and marketing project for a friend and turned into an art one, as it helped to reconnect with the fun part of playing with analogue and digital together.
I needed to create some background textures as digital assets for a somatic therapy service. I listened to my friend’s guided meditations as a starting point. Then I went for a walk to gather photos, twigs, flowers and other little elements that connected to what I had listened to.
I arranged a mandala-style layout with flower petals from the garden, drew and doodled with what I gathered, like stones, twigs and dirt. I made some watercolour freestyle spots too.
Final results
After playing around in Photoshop with double exposures and effects, I ended up with some magical textures and images that showed those feelings that arise through the guided meditations.
