Example of new works progression: Title---Adhesion One
October 2016
Some background. Early university attempts to quick sketch by this student were met with a grimace and quick return to details. While the artist did not begin employing graphite dots, as of this writing, aside from roughing out the initial placement sketch, there are between two to three graphite dots applied per second. Between approximately 100-200 hours are needed to complete each piece, with successive layers to reach the intended depth of field. All work is original. Years back the suggestion to make giclees was briefly experimented with. Quite amazing how these computer-generated images imitate the original. I am still not a fan.
Complicated images are of great interest to me. I can not explain this. Because of the time required, changes in lighting and forces of nature, I refer to photographs which I have taken. My work is by no means an exact replica of said image. I am interested in the most vibrant and balanced composition which may or may not have been captured in the photo and I am not a computer, nor am I interested in recreating a still photo. I am interested in bringing something to life on paper. Again, I have no explanation. I grew up thinking everyone sees things the same as I, and surely must have the same ability to draw or paint what they see with the same degree of accuracy. I was wrong.
