Week 4 MOCA

Carol Cooper is a Canadian artist who combines many different aspects of digital technology within her work. Most of Cooper’s art integrates mathematical influences such as fractals and geometric forms; in addition to incorporating various abstract elements. Carol describes herself as a “self-taught artist, and has been creating art digitally since 2001. Carol says that she “embraces digital technology,” and “loves the free-spirited feeling derived when creating abstractly.” I enjoyed viewing all of her work, but I have posted one of my favorites called “What’s in the Pot?” Cooper’s inspiration came from her mother’s home cooking, and describes the piece as a representation of the “familiar aroma when you entered the kitchen, a staple meal that you had at least ONCE a week. A meal that always tasted the same, no matter how many times it was cooked and served, a meal that MIGHT not even have a recipe.” I felt that Carol Cooper’s artwork related well with this weeks assignment.
