Introduction Part One  |  A Modernistic Memory

In my art, a modernistic memory is a past moment in time. A collection of linear data. An epoch. It is also a philosophical and visual aesthetic. A depiction of how time newly reinterpreted challenges the perceived perception of who we are and the lives we have ceremoniously and ambiguously led.

 

Linear Data  |  All These Nights In Blue  |  The Interior Rooms And The Epoch Of Digital Creativity  |  Circa: 1985 -

As a digital artist I use photography, video, and mixed media imagery to create a visual interpretation of my life, and societal constructs at large.

 

An important vision of my art is to convey a dynamic artistic aesthetic within the framework of an ambiguous and recollected life:

 

Magic and Loss.

A Modernistic Memory  |  Finding Ghosts In Familiar Places  |  The Moments Of Ambiguities And The Perpetual Thought Of Creativity

Linear Data  |  All These Days And Nights In The Maps Of Self Reflection  |  The Interior Rooms And The Discovery Of The Authentic Self Through Self Awareness

Everything Changes Except A Persistent Memory

 When utilizing the technical and creative process of various digital

media the main focus is on the visual structure and the

subjective composition of a piece.

This artistic pursuit can be found in various series and individual works, such as my 2017 series entitled "Linear Data".

Elemental | Mindfulness | Abstraction

Often in my designs there are elemental images of nature that are forged into abstraction, and created to solidify the background as a cohesive whole. Also there are secondary forms, and multi-layered constructs which help to form contrasting ambiguities. All coming together within various levels of geometric shapes and symbols. In the end producing a visually powerful and invigorating body of art.

In recent years my work has become more reflective with an introspective quality. And with meticulous effort, it has evolved into a defining artistic vision. The work has also guided me toward a spiritual sensibility that reflects a desire for personal accountability, recollection, and self awareness.

With respect to innovation and contemporary design, I am

always looking for influences that affect the way I approach my work: Various disciplines such as dance, theater, poetry, film and electronic music have all played a significant part

in my growth as a digital and video artist.

In making the digital connection, the methodology is to remain true to

the digital process i.e. recognizing and imploring the intricate

micro tonal possibilities inherit to the computer,

electronic media, digital, and video art in general.


Some of the works are produced in series where underlying patterns, rhythms, color and tonal variations move from one work to the next.

The image translation and transformation can either be revealed

as noise, a visual drone, disintegrating loops of color and form,

visual calculation or a chance encounter. All of my work

as an artist is a work in progress. Some pieces are developed

not to have an ending, but are infinitely changing and being remixed.

There is a light that glows within oneself that is not unlike a growing imagination and the scent of mint and tulips in spring.

The digital awareness of creativity can be found in the conscious mindset and the emotional construct of the heart.

Know that all things are not always left behind in our interior rooms. But emerge within a museum of hopes and dreams.

Fluid ambiguities and interwoven hints of nostalgia emerge digitally from vaporwave memories and mallsoft moments.
