Digital Images
The images shown here are a synthesis of my experiences in drawing and painting, photography, sound and graphic design. Initially applied to the packaging designs for albums released on my mp3 record label Stasisfield, this working method soon became my primary focus as a visual artist.
I view image-making similarly to my work in sound manipulation (which itself was initially inspired by my drawing and painting pratice). My source material (photographs and drawings) is processed and re-contextualized using Photoshop to painstakingly manipulate data. My approach has many influences; the use of multiple views of a single object derives from cubism, while the images' minute reduction of pixels, blurring and fading relate to minimalism, abstract expressionist painting, contemporary computer-based sound production, and philosophies of impermanence like Wabi-Sabi.
