Sofie Bird Møller is the second artist contributing to My Museum. With her multiple she makes her brush strokes available for the participants’ own pictures. She has developed a technique with which she is able to quite literally detach her brush strokes from the canvas. The strokes in this way become small painting objects in their own right; they may be moved around and become parts of new contexts in a crossfield between spontaneous expression and controlled process.

For My Museum she has scanned and made available a series of brush strokes that everyone may use and combine at will. It thus becomes possible to ‘paint’ your own digital painting using the artist’s strokes or experiment with personal collages integrating her artistic gesture with private photos and self-made snapshots.

How to start

Sofie Bird Møller’s brush strokes can be found in this folder.

Once you have downloaded the brush stroke you wish to use, it is easy to copy it onto e.g. a photograph (use copy/paste), scale it, or move it around.

If you would like to experiment with further possibilities, you may study these video tutorials:

About Sofie Bird Møller

In her praxis, Sofie Bird Møller investigates the interesting tension created between the unique, organic brush stroke and the constant flow of pictures from commercial popular culture. Via precise cuts and artistic interferences, she intervenes into pre-photoshopped and manipulated bodies – often by painting over and partly covering them with pastose layers of paint.
