"Beachball"
2022
spray paint on cotton canvas
97 x 146cm
unframed
When faced with a whirling colourful ball “loader” cursor on a Mac OS interface, you are being beachballed - frustratingly, comically put on hold by software. Likewise, this piece throws a colourful pixelated ball at you: suspended in an air-tight space of bursting forms, cutting planes and shifting display mechanisms, it is begging to be looked at, registered as it bleeds. The round form’s pigmentation and velocity is shocking us into a wider focus, asking us to reexamine our busyness and our intent.

"Djuro’s work at first seems a bright and bold venture into a digital world of computer graphics. But the soft colours hide a harder reality. Under their surface is a different world – a manipulative and seductive place of traps and fault lines, disruptive, dangerous and overwhelming. She is interested in the very contemporary tension between the real and virtual worlds, and how our dependence on ever more powerful technology creates confusion between the two."
