The background image for this stylized digitally manipulated artwork is a blue-painted, discarded shelving unit I found when wandering the crooked narrow alleyways of old town Jaisalmer, an ancient hilltop fortress built in the far reaches of the Thar Desert in western Rajasthan, India. When there, one easily imagines the lore of a bygone Lawrence of Arabia era.
My kinetic animated creations explore motion, vibration, energy, gesture, and juxtaposition while incorporating geometric or architectonic background images captured during my travels to more than one hundred countries. I later add graphic design elements, typically in a modular matrix grid arrangement with occasional hand-drawn digital brush strokes to create designs based on my whim of the moment yet controlled by honed visual perspectives that integrate balance, proportion, color, shape, buoyancy, and often a bit of humor.
