The exhibition DIGITALISM not only showed my 2d cut out prints on acrylic derived from 3d models, but also included a large screen TV eight videos of animations of the 3d models the artworks were derived from, but also animations of structures exploring tectonics that lie somewhere between sculpture and architecture, blurring their boundaries.
These are the eight videos. For the best view experience, click ‘Watch on YouTube’ and click on settings (gear icon) and set Quality to 1080p HD.
I’ll be showing new router cut prints on acrylic of work derived from 3d virtual models.
In addition to the artworks, I will also be showing 8 animations of my 3D work on a TV. Four of the animations are the ‘Parents’ to the artworks in the show. The other four are structures that hover between art and architecture. The animations are choreographed with music and there will be headphones to listen.
DIGITALISM Context Fine Art is located at 78th Street Studios, 3rd Floor 1300 W. 78th Street, 1305 W 80th St, Cleveland, OH 44102

This is a screencast clip one of those, STELLA OCTANGULA, being rendered. I sped up the clip 6 times showing 2 frames being rendered. This animation in total has 1,800 frames and took 25 hours to render. The renderings are choreographed with music and there will be headphones to listen.
I was awarded the Ohio Arts Council’s Artists With Disabilities Access Program (ADAP) Grant for fiscal year 2024.
TELOFLUX continues my explorations of geometric forms challenging myself to merge the visual arts and architecture envisioning geometric structures that blur their boundaries.
The title TELOFLUX derives from the Greek word Telos meaning complete, final, perfect and Flux referring to something that is not done, moving, flowing, changing, evolving. I like contradictions.
