I’m constantly learning and experimenting. Here are just a few of the ideas I’m exploring:
– 3-Dimensional Presentation
– Commissions
– Architectural-Scale Installation
3-Dimensional Presentation
The dimensionless, dreamy quality of these images, and the illusion of depth they create, have inspired me to begin treating them as elements of sculpture rather than presenting them only as traditionally framed works. Projection, too, perhaps in combination with 3-d works, is another direction I’ll explore.
Commissions
Do you have a special place that you’d like to experience through one of my works? If so, please contact me about commissioning a work.
Architectural-Scale Installation
I envision these works large. In a museum career that included curation of an art gallery and direction of a planetarium creating fulldome shows, I developed a love of large-scale, immersive art. In my teens, I contemplated a career in architecture, and worked for architects from age 15 through my college years. While these works are compelling at modest scale, I would like to see them quite large, as huge atmospheric pieces or even as architectural design elements.
Below are a few thought experiments to provide a sense of my vision. Move the sliders to the right to see the examples, then slide them left to explore my vision for each.
MOVE THE SLIDERS BELOW to see each setting before and after my imagined Heart of the Matter installation.
