For a long time, I have approached my work as sculpture. Each piece will start as ten or thirty source images; some of my photography or drawings, some random clip-art or photo from the internet, or a random object placed on my scanner. I see things I like, and I add them to the pile. Then layering them, and altering each one so that they fit together. This is actually forming the stone of the sculpture analogy – the layers of images are the stone, and once I piece them together by applying effects, highlighting, rotating, stretching, blurring, sharpening, distorting, pixelating… then I begin to carve by removing the things which interfere with the image. I think of it as carving stone of my own making.
Each print is enhanced with acrylic painting by the hand of the artist. The acrylic paint adds depth not present in the original digital rendering. Each print is unique because of this.
An archival Certificate of Authenticity, printed on 100% cotton bond and signed by the artist, is included.
