Artist Statement
I utilize science and technology in an effort to create art that has never been seen before. I have an obsessive fascination with the visions, ideas and processes that inspire my work. The creation of vivid depictions and expressions of these imagined and emergent realities is my primary preoccupation in life.
I am focused on philosophical, scientific and spiritual imponderables. Digital technology enables me to dissolve traditional boundaries of medium, process, style and genre and create unimaginable new forms. My goal is to create compelling objects of contemplation that inspire a transcendent experience of awe and mystery. I believe this experience is essential to human development and well being.
My images, sculptures and animations are created using a variety of digital tools. Digital painting and sculpting are incorporated with procedural techniques such as functional modeling and fluid dynamic simulation. Physically based rendering, which simulates the behavior of light, makes it possible for me to make virtual photography of my creations and discoveries. Selected images are printed on canvas and paper. Physical models of my virtual sculptures are produced using 3d printing technology.
My process integrates intuition and intellect - deliberate design and random happenstance - realism and abstraction - humanity and technology - art and math - science and mysticism - philosophy and humor.
