Light coming out of darkness, or light coming out of land and illuminating the figures can be seen as a metaphor for our spiritual awakening. The figure is also very important in these works, and is usually seen as blurred or in silhouette, representing mankind in general. The figures are also often in movement, or repeated in different scale to represent movement through time. I approach this almost as an outside observer, a voyeur, watching a scene from a distance, and not being a part of it. The figurative imagery brings back a feeling of humanity into my art and into our technological world, and is in direct contrast to the computerized means that helped to create the image itself.
Works are for sale directly from the artist.
The computer is a wonderful tool for the kind of work that I do. I am able to take my own original photographs and collage, paint, alter and manipulate them in ways that would be much more difficult, if not impossible, to do conventionally. Paradoxically, I find the computer to be both fundamental to and subservient to my artistic process. The computer allows me to work in the way that is most natural to me, providing instant feedback, infinite mutability, quick response, and the ability to dynamically synthesize and layer images and text. At the same time, I experience the computer as an invisible component of my creative process.
