ARTIST STATEMENT
Controversial new art forms have always been closely inspected,
including their underlying environmental and cultural influences,
which are revealed in artwork over time. This work is a reflective
time-based piece that visually tells a story about the artist’s aesthetic
journeys, including the journey from traditional to digital. A 20-year
period is dilated by juxtaposing, segmenting, and interweaving
passages of artistic works and influences.
The artist is intrigued by stories told by other new-media artists,
and their journeys are reflected in the motion of the piece. The
artist considers the use of computers and other new forms of
technology that deal with time an exciting medium in which to
bring life to aesthetic expressions.
