What is Number Star you ask? It is a concept of juxtaposing elements.
Number: the masses, multiplicity, structure, account, and the abundance of life.
Star: individual, light, radiation, singularity, and balls of gas suspended in space infinitely exploding into the fleeting moment.
Together they are Number Star: calculated explosions communicating through tin cans attached with strings on opposite sides of the universe. In other words, its a poetic expression of the bottom row of buttons on your telephone keypad.
I try less to tell a story and more to let the story tell itself; keeping my imagery familiar and expressive yet vague. The viewer holds a special part in the story telling process as their job is to interpret what is unfolding. For example: in a painting you’ll see a mule playing a banjo, but the viewer is the only one that knows what song he is playing; or a ladybug grinning at an aphid. The viewer decides their fate. I’m always amazed at what people come up with.
The Experience is as important as the transmission of a message. A majority of my work reacts with chromadepth 3D glasses. The 3D element brings the viewer into these cartoon landscapes. Now they are more than a spectator and a part of that much more of an experience. At the same time they are becoming attuned to the color and visual depth of the work. In all, I hope to inspire thought through experience and experience through thought.
