Let's Talk: Kathryn Layno

Our Current Condition is the second year of Fortuna Circuit, an annual exhibition featuring artists from all around the Philippines.  To give more detail on the artists and their work, we've decided to feature a few interviews with the exhibitors. What art piece(s) are you bringing to the exhibit? What’s the story behind it?  Quick sketches using pen and ink on index cards by my friends and I. For my part, they were the state of mind that I was in at the time I was drawing them. They can be anything from gratitude for certain things, political statements and struggles with depression and anxiety. What school of art do you follow? Who are your influences? I generally work digitally for comics and illustration but also do pen and ink on paper occasionally. Some of my influences are Rebecca Guay, Alphonse Mucha, Jo Chen, Daisuke Ishiwatari, Jim Lee, Kim Jung Gi, James Jean and a bunch of videogame, anime and animation artists. What’s your art process?

Who are your influences?        I guess I‘d say, it’s more on the realism side? But it does adapt into different styles,       depending o n what is required. I have a multitude of influences actually but the few that really made an impact on my art are Frank Frazetta, Adam Hughes, Kim Jung Gi, and Alphonse Mucha.         What’s your art process? Do you have any habits or practices that you do before making a piece (eg taking a walk, or drinking beer before painting)?                   I’m not sure if I have any. I

What’s the story behind it?        runExecuteCommand.mp4 is a glitch piece produced specifically for Fortuna Circuit: Our Current Condition. It’s made up of two components: (1) salvaged audio from a news report of a police chase—hence the title; (2) and a video clip of a random local ‘sexy’ dancer act, both sourced from the internet.      Process-wise, the video was first broken down into frames, which then were glitched using the audio file. The same was done to the sound clip, but was glitched using the stills. The audio was glitched until it was just noise, and the moving images were glitched until they were completely corrupted. These were then stitched t

Our Current Condition is the second year of Fortuna Circuit, an annual exhibition featuring artists from all around the Philippines.  To give more detail on the artists and their work, we've decided to feature a few interviews with the exhibitors. 1. What art piece(s) are you bringing to the exhibit? What’s the story behind it? "Bleak Contrivance" I always expect that every plan is doomed to fail. I like to roll the dice and take the plunge on the river of uncertainty, buttnaked leaving behind unnecessary concerns and seeing where it takes me. It helps me to have a positive outlook on things that matter.   2. What school of art do you follow? Who are your influences? When I was a kid, I watched too many cartoons and animated series.
