LIVE stenciling: Ponto Beach

The art of stenciling goes through a series of stages; each one precise and sharp. Like each step in the wrinkled pages of a Lego instructions sheet, each stage must be accurately completed or the final art form will crumble to the carpet.

The idea is scanned into the computer, fusing the most primitive form of expression with today’s technological advancements. It celebrates a chosen idea and the power to translate it from ink into digital media. It showcases color, shape and balance. It represents the ability to skillfully deconstruct the content into color specific sections. It demonstrates a cycle, an exit form the computer and a return to the primitive. It broadcasts labor, tedious cuts by hand in route towards a perfectly sliced layer.

It represents art, the series of stages during a creative process.
