ARTIST STATEMENT
Since first becoming aware of 3D rendering technology in the mid-
1980s, I believed it was the perfect medium for expressing one’s
imagination. While it is most commonly used to mimic reality,
I prefer using this technology to create clean, bold, graphical images
that clearly do not mimic reality but do have a photographic quality
about them.
My underlying inspirational sources are mostly hidden. Although
it may be obvious that many of my images are inspired by nature.
Those sources are only starting points for exploration and often
evolve based on discoveries I make along the way. There are usually
several related perspectives to explore, and each may develop
separately over time. This was the case with the image presented
here. It is one of several images, originally inspired by dreaming
about pixels, in which I used rectangular blocks as compositional
elements. Each of these images explores, from a slightly different
perspective, a long-held fascination with structure.

TECHNICAl STATEMENT
The image was modeled using luxology’s Modo subdivision surface
modeler, and rendered to 10,000 x 10,000 pixels in Electric Image
Animation System. Texturing was done using procedural shaders
from EI Technology Group, Konkeptoine, and Triple D Tools. Adobe
Photoshop was used for compositing and touchup. It was printed
on Epson Ultrasmooth Fine Art Paper using Ultrachrome inks and an
Epson 7600 printer.
