Visual Art – Atlanta
I dropped out. From software to art, trapped between the digital and analog, I am a Digital Luddite. I am in an endless downward art spiral with no hope of ever turning back.
I photograph layered, abstract, manipulated, figurative photo-montage and print the result as lenticulars. Lenticulars for me are unique in the way that they bridge the analog and digital. They are at the nexus of my work as I push in both of those directions. I constantly expand the analog / physical side by including diverse media and I expand the digital side with a variety of digital photo manipulation algorithms and photography techniques.
Not a lot of people know lenticulars outside of a corporate trinket in a candy box or a postcard from Florida and there are no books or classes on how to use it to create art, but the discipline is as unique as the viewing of it. Lenticulars demand participation. Images that change interactively require viewers to move, and a room of lenticulars is a study in Brownian motion.
I constantly experiment with materials and technique and I discard more than I keep. I believe that much of art is creative call and response; recognizing the ideal from the idealized. I suppose that I am culling art from process, rarely does it end the way that it was envisioned. I think some of it is good.
