This Week in the Studio

Creating a visual tool that measures how we think and feel

I’m back in the studio working again after failing to get started on a few projects after my trip to Japan.

I think I needed a sense of disjointed apathy to kick start a desire to work with visual formats. I was basically overwhelmed with imagery and a sense of creative purpose while in Hokkaido, so I didn’t have a way to use my libido to purpose with all the collections of visual objects I made over those two weeks.

Three months later, and it’s mid-October, a few days before my 49th birthday, and it occured to me that I know now what I have been thinking about — my creative senses really want to dive forensically into how they piece images together to communicate beyond my own feedback loops.

“Objects and Sense: A Dyad” is a piece I assembled using collage and painting. This is a digital stitching together of two different physical pieces to tell a story of how objects exist separately from my subjective sense

I’ve started to play around more with collage and lightly washed paints on paper. I think the fragility of paper, the transience of ink washes, and the fluidity of ink on paper tell a story that investigates how thoughts come together. I’ve even thought maybe I am mimicking the probabilistic and deterministic interplay that forms the LLM mechanics of AI. I don’t know. The images in this email are available to buy through direct contact with the artist. Feel free to drop me a note. You can also find me on Twitter. I have yet to create a website for my art. I will done day.

Below is a yet to be named commission in progress for a collector.
