Intricate Photo Collages Created From Hundreds of Handmade ‘Pixels’
"In an intricate juxtaposition of elements, Vancouver-based artist Ed Spence handcrafts 'pixelized' images in his series Dataforms...Spence has painstakingly cut apart large photographs and prints of paintings, reassembling them into gorgeous and colorful hybrids...Spence’s abstractions are a calculated process that includes dozens of sketches and lengthy planning. After cutting hundreds of one-inch squares by hand, the broken pieces are reassembled in ways both complex and compelling. It is the duality of opposites—analog vs. digital, representational vs. abstract, chaos vs. order."
