'Untitled, (Fire)'

Pat Flynn’s digital inferno Fire tackles the destructiveness of nature from a different angle. Being both ephemeral and unpredictable, fire isn’t a particularly classical ‘sculptural’ phenomenon. Flynn therefore takes on the task of rendering a pixellated two-dimensional world of computer simulated fire in three-dimensions.

The result is an oxymoron, a representation of a representation that nevertheless corresponds readily with out preconceptions of how fire would look and behave in an ideal Platonic universe. This fire is consumed by its own image.
