| 关于此艺术家 |
i work in a variety of different media; photography, sculpture, drawing, painting and a hybridization of the 4 media together (i.e. "mixed media"). my focus is steadily moving towards the plaster sculpture/paintings i produce. i see them as being a form of sculptural fresco, and look forward to developing them further.
my work aims to be populist in nature by having something to comment on in regard to the world that we live in; be it through critique, inspiration, encouragement, or teaching. i don't particularly like art that is empty, but we are all guilty of emptiness here and there.
working where i do, i have encountered a great deal of information concerning the permanence of artwork, and do all that i can to use the highest quality materials possible, and to make my work as conservationally sound as possible. i feel that as a professional, i must make work of the highest degree that i can, and not cut corners by using inferior methods - to do so is unethical. i want my work to last hundreds if not thousands of years, so that any collectors of my work will not suffer from prematurely deteriorating art. |
