Preparing the image study.Motion begins when the artwork is ready.

A painting held
in fragments.

Each mark takes its colour from a detail of The Listener. Hold the image and the detail opens into a field of colour; let go and it gathers again.

This is an experimental image-derived study, not an original work by Iana. The artwork above uses a digital crop; its movement and imagined depth are an interpretation. The marks follow calculated paths rather than a physical simulation.

The Listener by Iana Kochu: an inward pale blue curl and coral seed surrounded by pink, indigo and yellow.
