LILAC SCRAWL i
Paige Paton
About
Paige Paton is an artist based in Hamilton, Ontario. Her work manipulates how she sees the world through experimental photography and mixed media. Often starting with her own photos as the basis of more abstract visions, she aims to create unique visuals rooted in nostalgia, longing, and ambiguity.
Lilac Scrawl i is a 35mm film negative covered with marker, ink, and a Ziploc bag, then digitally manipulated. Flowers are a common focus of Paton’s art and photography. Here, she wanted to delve beyond the simple daintiness of a photo of flowers by adorning it with texture, character, and grit.

Paige Paton est une artiste demeurant à Hamilton, en Ontario. Dans son travail, Paton vient manipuler sa façon de voir le monde à travers la photographie expérimentale et les médias mixtes. Partant souvent de ses propres photos pour créer des visions plus abstraites, Paton cherche à créer des visuels uniques ancrés dans la nostalgie, le désir et l’ambiguïté.
Il s’agit d’un négatif de film 35 mm recouvert de marqueur, d’encre et d’un sac Ziploc, puis manipulé numériquement. Les fleurs sont au cœur de mon travail artistique et photographique. Ici, j’ai voulu aller au-delà de la simple délicatesse d’une photo de fleurs en l’agrémentant de texture, de caractère et de réalisme cru.
