Artist Statement: The computer provides a wonderful environment for experimentation. No materials are wasted. Setup
time is minimal. Tests can be easily and quickly saved. Changes can be made and different versions can
be combined. I try to take full advantage of these attributes by incorporating experimentation into my
workflow. I usually begin with only a very loose concept in mind. I am often motivated by something I've
seen. Sometimes a simple shape can begin the process. Through experimentation, I usually discover
multiple direction the work could take and I may spend months exploring these in depth, creating several
images along the way. I am currently fascinated by surface relationships and how surfaces can be used
as structural elements within a composition. By surfaces, I mean shapes with very little thickness. In 3
dimensional modeling, surfaces with no thickness are possible but they do not convey a proper sense of
form and substance. I usually want to maintain a sense of reality in my work. I want my scenes to
appear to exist in real space and to have physical attributes that suggest they could exist.
My goal is always to present more than the technology I use. I want my images to be emotionally
evocative and to succeed on the basis of their visual impact rather than any implied meaning. It's a grand
expectation which may never be completely satisfied. I believe the artists initiative begins a process that
only develops its full potential through those who experience it. I encourage you to explore for yourself,
and to share your own creativity in the completion of this process.
