In the process of creating ' Composition - 1 ' 2020
Artwork is something that happens when I am inspired, where I am inspired. I usually choose a place that obstructs my daily living to make sure I remember it.
The Studio
I wish the studio was all in one place! Different tools require different equipment. Different equipment means different studios in different places. I feel like digital art is a conceptual thing and more than often I start in the studio lab, but the art never ends there. Physical art has to be produced. Sometimes it’s with a brush with paint, in a clay studio, or a wood shop. Sometimes it is with a printer or CNC router. Sometimes it’s with a laser in a production house or with a plasma cutter. The studio is never all in one place! Other times the studio is at home on the couch next to my wife, using comfort as a tool.
The Process
Making art is a visual perception. I have no prejudice about the process by which art is created. I enjoy using whatever means necessary to develop a visual experience. Sketches and computers are a part of my process. I was trained in traditional paint & brush, but I don’t turn my nose away from technology. If it generates inspiration and wonder I am into it! My favorite work is done by hand, but computers make too many intriguing pieces to ignore. Plus, I can’t make everyone a piece of art so prints are part of my repertoire. I love putting art on people, places, and things.
