Opulent Orbit,11.75" x 16", Epson 1280 print, 2003
I am inspired by the natural world: rock formations, seed pods, nests, eggs; shapes that resonate with reproduction, growth and repetition. I am intrigued with surfaces -- the exterior, and how it manifests the interior -- the hidden realm, the world of the nucleus with its orbiting electrons.
I stage assemblages of a variety of objects, either man-made or of a natural nature; sometimes I include organic sculptures of mine. I take digital photographs of these, then using my computer, I create digitally altered imagery using various drawing and photography software programs to layer, re-color then re-manipulate even more; the process becomes infinite. My method incorporates several artistic techniques and provides a link between traditional and digital art forms, between the two dimensional world and the three dimensional world. I offer these images as limited edition, archival ink jet prints. I call my work “Transmutations”.
