The underlying photograph for this artwork is a still image from my Tribal Wild series that I shot in my Bangkok studio of a body-painted model wearing a huge, circular wire metal neckpiece from the Hmong Hill Tribe in northern Laos. For this animation, I divided the image into 121 randomly rocking squares on a rotating canvas.
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.
