The background image for this creation is a shopfront metal gate I photographed in Mandalay, Myanmar. The original artwork features hand-drawn elements applied directly onto the photograph using reflective chrome inks, which creates a playful interaction with the viewer dependent on lighting conditions and colors in the environment commingled with the angle of view as one moves past the artwork. I also added circles, squares, and triangles as graphic elements positioned in strategic locales. In this animation of that artwork, I added circles vigorously shooting forth from a pulsating canvas.
My kinetic animated creations explore motion, vibration, energy, gesture, and juxtaposition while incorporating geometric or architectonic background images captured during my travels to more than one hundred countries. Typically I employ a modular matrix grid arrangement adding occasional hand-drawn brush strokes to create designs controlled by honed visual perspectives that integrate balance and proportion with buoyancy and often a bit of humor.
