VISION
My art is multi-dimensional, providing an integrated experience that engages multiple senses during the brief time that the audience interacts with my public work. I aim to create an immersive experience that goes beyond visual appeal, using various elements to fully engage the viewer and create a lasting impression.
Of course, the average person sees the actual metal art; they may even touch it or climb on it. However, a key component of my art is the casting of shadows that change as sunlight hits the object, creating a secondary dimension for the viewer. This interplay between the artwork and its surroundings adds depth and intrigue to the piece, providing a dynamic and ever-changing experience.
In addition, I often integrate computer-generated imaging into my work to create a unique and interactive experience. During darkness, lights, reflectors, or different computer images can be incorporated to provide a different type of shadowing. This dynamic approach to my work ensures that the viewer experiences something truly unique and memorable, as the artwork adapts and changes with its surroundings and lighting conditions.
Even the wind passing through my art provides an additional sensory experience. My goal is always to create an evolutionary piece that challenges the spectator to understand it at a deeper level over years of viewings, visits, and admiration. By engaging multiple senses and incorporating elements that change over time, my art creates a truly immersive experience that evolves with the viewer and continues to captivate long after the initial encounter.
