Artist Statement:

Leonardo da Vinci once told Michelangelo that painting was superior to sculpture, because Michelangelo could not sculpt fog. Michelangelo retorted that only when Leonardo could walk behind the painting would he agree! Can we now do both? Three-dimensional computer graphics makes it possible. In the early part of the 20th Century, the space-time relationship became important, in science through Einstein's theories, and in art through the Cubist movement. I explored the other side(s) of a drawing... coalescing the space and time of the image. Would it validate the ideas of cubism and yet be a substantive work of art?
