Plains Study I

|
Artist Statement: "Plains Study I" and "Plains Study II" are from a series of digital prints on
canvas dealing with the superimposition of the constructed environment on
the landscape. These prints are created using digital imaging, painting, and
proofing software. For output, I work in a calibrated fine-art, large-format
printing environment, utilizing archival pigment-based inks and specially coated
fine-art canvas.
As an intermedia artist, I approach exploration of new forms from a position
grounded in experimentation among media, disciplines, and processes. I
investigate and evaluate emerging technologies that inform my approach to
working in a variety of media, including video installation, single-channel
video, sound art, 3D animation, video sculpture, digital imaging, interactive,
and net-based work. In developing new concepts and forms, I draw on
intersections between Eastern philosophies and Western science, and
juxtapositions between built and natural constructs.
Conceptually, I position my work to act as a mediator between physical and
implied space, charging the transformative nature of a composition. Expansive,
accommodating space becomes increasingly interior and condensed, providing
an environment for reorientation within a work. I am particularly interested in
realizing the potential of form and image that affords interaction at its most
fundamental level. As an intermedia artist, I have also come to value the synergy
of collaboration and have worked closely with composers, scientists, architects,
and engineers on a variety of large-scale projects.
New media extend the range of the traditional studio by establishing a palette
of time, motion, interactivity, and virtuality. I find that the ephemeral nature of
electronic and intermedia work transcends the traditional modes and expectations
of art. The significance of the tangible becomes fleeting, shifting emphasis
from the object to the experience. Electronic and time-based works, by their very
nature, are inherently transformative, creating a shifting context between what
is known and what has yet to be explored.
