I attempt to discover the unifying disciplines of creation and to reimagine humanity’s place at the intersection of technology and art.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create 3 dimensional art pieces. The work can range from abstract/geometric to figurative pieces. I try to create pieces that have a timeless quality - existing in the past, the present and the future simultaneously. In this space of ambiguity, my sculptures stand as speculative artifacts—propositions rather than conclusions—inviting the viewer to contemplate not only what may be the mysterious origin, but also what is the true meaning connected to the object.
Where do you find inspiration?“I am fascinated and inspired by the scope of human imagination and invention. Ultimately, my work is an inquiry into the very nature of design inspiration itself: the elusive, primordial spark that gives birth to form before function, idea before utility. My exploration of the language of form is an inquiry into the nature and discipline of creation itself—a pursuit of the fundamental organizational principles that govern the design of the cosmos.
What would you do with $25,000?I would keep practicing as an artist till it was all gone. Seriously - I have a number of pieces of equipment that I would like to purchase for my shop. A laser cutter, a CNC mill and perhaps a small water jet. These would be great resources to have "in house".
