Kinetic Vibration: “Kinetic Vibration.009” - Animation

The background image for this artwork is an end-view of stacked, extruded aluminum tubes I found at a hardware shop in Bangkok. Graphic patterns in the environment always delight my psychic energy. The workers there were fascinated that I would shoot such a photo. Little did they know my final creation. I later rotated and flipped the image to orchestrate a balanced canvas upon which I added the whimsy of seven digitally applied red circles positioned with a honed eye to establish balance, hierarchy, and playfulness. The explosive, animated circles bursting forth from a pulsing canvas were added as visual treat.

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. I later add graphic design elements, typically in a modular matrix grid arrangement with occasional hand-drawn digital brush strokes to create designs based on my whim of the moment yet controlled by honed visual perspectives that integrate balance, proportion, color, shape, buoyancy, and often a bit of humor.
