Bound Collection: Bound Network 006 [Ash]

I am interested in the detailed textures, materials, networks, and patterns created by nature and I endeavor to represent these materials and networks abstractly in the digital realm using 3D modeling and animation.

For this piece, I have studied and photographed the bark of Ash trees and created a complex animated network based on slimemolds and fungi to surround it.

This digital animation is part of a video/sound installation exhibited at ETHDenver February 18-20, 2022.

This piece has a physical counterpart displayed along with an augmented reality experience at EDGE Contemporary Art Gallery January 28 - February 13, 2022.
