A computer is not a brush. My works explore the computer media without appropriating past styles or imitating other techniques. I try to free the computer to be its own medium, as different from paint, photomontage, or other media as television is from radio. As a brush is not a pencil, a computer need not be a brush. The artworks reflect how forces and energies beyond our usual observations affect our world.
Nature reveals many examples of inherent, yet hidden, forces.
Underlying the beauty seen in the subtle sweep of the northern lights are two forces that cannot be seen - the Earth's magnetic field and particles of the solar wind. Similarly, some prairies in Illinois were once under an ocean now thousands of miles away. There is order in these fluctuations and changes. Also hidden and mysterious is the fate, destiny, or coincidence which brings people together or separates them from a love. Off, past the boundary of normal perception, is the energy which underlies appearances.
