I’ve been doing this series of drawings and digital collages for some
time. The end product can be a just about anything I can print or
project on. I have mixed feelings about this. As a painter I’ve always
felt that the direct tactile experience with a work of art is essential.
I had to ask myself, can I duplicate this experience digitally? Can
this experience of a painting talking to directly to the viewer be
translated into digital format?
The answers I suppose are self
evident - as we learn to see light through these screens - the
experience, while fleeting, can be profound. We can’t touch the
textures, or taste the smells but we can imagine - we can be transported
for a moment.
In that spirit I have been creating dozens of
these digital collages. They go well with the sound of Jazz music.
Let
me know what you think, I hope they lighten up your day!
