Artist Statement:
My artwork uses expansive
digital technology to
represent dreams and other
ways of knowing, as I try to
understand my world around me.
The images represented here in
this exhibit are from a
"Buddha Nature" series that I
am working on. In the process
of this series I am asking
questions.
The global economy and
multicultural societies are
increasingly accepted norms.
Will an integrated
spirituality evolve as well?
Is polytheism really possible?
As artists evolve a global
mind, and mature past the
self-conscious movement, will
art play a responsible role in
societies direction?
While the technologies I use
are complex and the questions
I am asking are deep and
serious, the goals are
simplicity in design and
composition with an attitude
of fun and adventure. For if I
take myself seriously the
results would be disastrous.
Please visit my website

more photographic works and
read more about my evolving
theory of art from a systems
perspective.
