Digital Fine Art

The included galleries below explore color and form relationships as they rapidly coalesce with a short period of latency into a stable image. In the Pop Goes The Culture subset the 'meaning' that each composition possesses for naive sense perception is vacuous and even cheerful by virtue of these relations, regardless of any ambiguity that is introduced by the participation of object forms and emergent figures into a seeming narrative. The narratives appear, in fact, to be led by those color relationships regardless of a basic ambiguity of context. A series of related (digital) paintings are exhibited together into an animated narrative, thereby increasing the reinforcement that "a" narrative brings to the basic relationship and the establishment of an overall affective tone. In some cases, although the paintings are exhibited in a fully articulated narrative and consist of fully articulated object forms and figures, they still collectively work on our perceptual apparatus to invite scrutiny or take us down a different path than that seemingly suggested. Scroll down to get started. If you're using your smartphone to survey the site quickly, please remember that the work is designed for high quality printmaking and large format viewing. Check it out on a larger monitor when you can. (Be advised, the animations require a slight pause to render at full screen before viewing. They're well worth the slight pause, however).

Thanks for viewing!
