All Modes, All Mediums
I have limitless energy for exploration. Whether it is CNC wood carving, laser etching, sound design, composition, illustration or 3d printing – I am on a mission to find the connections between all forms of creation and self expression. See some of my latest work below.
Qualia Artifact 1
Blender, virtual mixed media sculpture
A study in photorealistic material simulation including paper, ceramic and gold leaf.
Part of my Palimpsest series of experimental artworks.
There is Nothing Evil In this Picture
Blender, photography, compositing
A Lovecraftian Horror themed piece speculating on the forms of non-human intelligences. The scene was lit using a series of Lifx lightbulbs from my bedroom. A High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) 360º lightmap was then created using HDREye (iOS). A 3d model was created in Blender, and rendered using the lightmap. The scene was shot using a Sony a6500 and the resulting images were composited using Adobe Photoshop.
Toroidal Exploration
Blender, 3d printing, weaving
A snapshot of my current exploration into the possibilities of toroidal geometries. A model was sculpted in Blender and 3D printed using a Snapmaker A350. Side view renderings were printed using Risograph, a kind of automated screenprinting.
