Petra Cortright’s core practice is the creation and distribution of digital and physical images using consumer or corporate software. Cortright’s garnet Glycerine GSMCRK_ScreenRecord15, 2020 is part of a recent series of videos titled Garnet Glycerine GSMCRK and other stories, Cortright paints in Photoshop while a custom script subtly animates the framework of the brushstrokes and architecture of the painting, revealing different versions. Exploring the fluid relationship between painting and video is an ongoing theme in Cortright’s work.
