Art on a computer monitor (and most
substrates) are simply dots on a two-
dimensional space. What is important is
how the dots are configured and
perceived. I indulge a variety of styles
and concepts. When presenting these
images on a substrate, I occasionally go
beyond the two-dimensional space by
laminating an image printed on mylar to
a metal surfaced that has been
separately prepared with patinas and
other manners of distressing the metal.
The effect is a textured object. Still,
when you see it as a jpeg, it is
reduced, once again, to a 2D surface.
The art, of course, speaks for itself -
or does it? Well, go to my various
websites and read my considerations
about art; or go to my various artblogs
(just google me) or the articles I've
selected for the Digital Art Guild
website or the book I co-authored with
JD Jarvis -- Going Digital. There is a
lot to consider, but even more to enjoy.
