I love when ideas intersect in new ways. My core interest is the aesthetics of information. In current work information-rich nature gets reduced to simple graphic versions, borrowing “built world” lines to convey natural imagery. City environments tend to be either information overwhelm—signage, street markings, infrastructure, material transitions, sanctioned and unsanctioned painting+markings, etc.—or uninteresting repetition, patterned or chaotic. I am interested in the compelling form of diverse kinds of information: textural/tactile, matte vs glossy/reflectance, structural, semantic, spatial, natural.
A recent idea board explores integrating REFLECT/architectural work and SCAN/abstract text forms into a dimensional urban collage. Recent technical discoveries with my ENCODE series free me to explore lovely minimalist compositions.
Love this approach and can’t wait to try something like this.
