gm and hi! I'm Chris.

Welcome to my work : )

I'm an Australian photographer making small collections about big ideas

Chapter One

is ending...

starts November 2022

Chapter Two

In alterego, I wanted to explore new spaces. Historically, I haven’t released generative or AI-assisted work, so that was a part of the focus for me.

From a subject perspective — I started with a simple concept. I grew up in a house where, on the wall above our dining room table, hung Picasso’s Flowers of Peace, 1958. For some reason, it has always stayed with me. The colors, the simplicity. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but it is in my heart nonetheless.

Certainly, and I’m sure most of the readers won’t know my work as m0dest, but hopefully, that will change soon. I’m m0dest, and I like to say that I am part of someone else, yet completely apart.

This began primarily as a challenge for me and my creative practice. I really became obsessed with a question.

If I had to start again from zero, could I make something of myself in the space? And beyond that, if it required a new style or new skills, could I make it work?

I guess we will see.

Scales by Anna Judd

Exploring the concepts of chaos, fungibility and the fractal nature of abstract paint layers dragged onto canvas, a scale is an individual artwork, wholly unique, yet an equal microcosm of a greater work.

Every Scale is a 1 of 1 and exists as both partial, and full ownership of a complete artwork. Created by subdividing canvasses into individual parcels, Scales democratize ownership of Annas work across many collectors.

With a new drop of 500-1000 pieces scheduled for release every month, a total of 10,000 scales will be minted. ​Collect 4 in a row (across or down) to be admitted into the Royalty Club, where members divide up a pool of 5% royalties on the entire collection.

Each Scale is 4600x4600px

Silhouette • Niel de la Rouviere

'You yearn to rescue the night, may the mirage never end. Through the haze, you brush aside the memory, a silhouette is all that remains...'

As an avid cineast, I fell in love with 'Silhouette'. They wonderfully display how much can be expressed with so little. An impressive highlight to the use of negative space, reminiscent of "Punch Drunk Love" by Paul Thomas Anderson.
