About the Artwork

 'I Get Wild and Fucking Crazy Like the Colour Blue' is part of 'Money Trees: I’m a Ghost Now, Look How You Hold Me', an ongoing project that explores how digital and material practices can contribute to the preservation and memory of urban trees. Emerging from 'Money Trees'—a platform connecting digital tree assets to real-world tree care—the work is based on a 3D photogrammetric scan of a London tree that has since been felled.

The painting is derived from the model’s UV map—a flattened, two-dimensional surface of the tree’s skin—translated from pixels into physical scale and rendered in oil on canvas. Once painted, this surface is re-scanned and re-mapped back onto the 3D model, creating a continuous loop between digital reconstruction and physical surface.
