My focus is transience, a part of
life’s progression. I have explored change
by observing transient occurrences, light and movement in different places and
locations. Sometimes we visit a place.
Do we leave an essence? Does a place remember our passing? Most of the time our
movement is taken for granted, and forgotten in the daily grind of life as we
transit from place to place. Does my house remember me?
After exploring light painting I
began to take hundreds of photographs of movement and the movement of light. I also
noticed simple things, like the change of colors in traffic lights from red,
yellow to green and the way people adapt to signals and signs. These small
changes in our surroundings can mean so much to us, though most of us are not fully
aware of changes that occur around us because they are subtle and we are
trained to obey.
“The Intersection,” became a huge
project for me. When visiting Potsdam I walked or transited, through it every
day. I lived above the intersection and initially photographed just the
movement of light, but I began to notice the many small factors that make up
the life of the intersection every day. The place, and the people, and cars
that transit the intersection leaving their essences behind.
“Bus 603” transits with its’ human
cargo four times daily, every day, and right now like clockwork. I rode it myself
and think about it at times, still there. My artworks employ manipulated digital
media ,paintings, led light, and prints.
I have worked also with acrylics, polymers and oils on canvass. I have tried to
float the people, objects and light over the environments painted in order to
demonstrate transience. Influences include German artist Jan Wollert, Alex
Grey, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, who is a light artist, and of course, the
Futurists, who painted movement.
