Moment of Inspiration

• Prize
• Photographer
  Nathalie Seaver, United States

Visualize a moment of inspiration. The magic of inspiration. The magic
of art. Trusting artistic intuition. Capturing these components and
deconstructing them is the heart of this series.

The digital world now offers a facility for creating images. Quick
printing. Quick looks on Instagram. Photos built by pixels.

Consider the pixel: It is square. A masculine form. A visual world built
with masculine squares. Consider its counterpart: A circle. A dot. A
feminine shape.

My aim is to deconstruct an image with this feminine building block, a
dot, instead of a square. Each dot is cut out by hand. Each dot is
applied by hand. It conjures a slower process that takes time.

The whole image, when completed, is about capturing the magic, the
millisecond of intuition, the essence of inspiration, that sparks a piece
of art and crystalizing that moment.
