The background image for this creation is a grungy, battered and wrinkled sheet metal fence I shot in Mandalay, Myanmar. On top of the photograph, I later digitally applied hand-drawn white circles. In a language that honed-eye art observers speak, I positioned one large blue circle and one small red dot to connote a subliminal sense of pivot point rotation and balance around which all other elements might visually rotate. In the animation, the entire canvas pulsates and expands outwardly, then frenetically doubles back and recedes upon itself.
My kinetic animated creations explore motion, vibration, energy, gesture, and juxtaposition while frequently incorporating geometric or architectonic background images captured during my travels to more than one hundred countries. Typically, I employ a modular matrix grid arrangement adding occasional hand-drawn brush strokes to create designs controlled by honed visual perspectives that integrate balance and proportion with buoyancy and often a bit of humor.
