Zearaja
- Artist Name:Josh Dykgraaf
- Dimensions:138cm x 110cm
- Artist Location:VIC
- Medium:Photographic Manipulation
- Category:Sustainability
His work features manipulations of his own photography - each piece is composed of hundreds of photos using material Josh has shot, each requiring 30-80 hours to make, with the resulting images usually having thousands of layers. His work explores world building, sense of scale and wonder - deconstructing and reforming the world we live in.
For the last few years, he has been particularly focused on the impact that we as a species are having on the natural environment around us, exploring wildlife conservation and climate change.
He comes from a background in commercial image making for advertising and graphic design, working for major companies and agencies around the world - he then brings that skill set and image making sense to his personal art.
