520 3 a| "Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them" -David Hume My art series, "Futurity" celebrates the richness of color, translucency, reflectivity, curvilinear geometry, and high craftsmanship. Within these low-relief works, dimension, depth, and mirrored luminosity arise from an ongoing dialogue between digital design and human craftsmanship. The objective is to make both approaches more visible by setting up a dichotomy. The act of creating, working with my hands, and transforming basic materials feels akin to alchemy. The hope is that the result is something greater than the sum of its parts. I aim for a level of visual experience in my work that can only come from precise fabrication, carefully layered surface finish, and sumptuous hand-crafted detail. The abundance of beauty and love in my surroundings inspires an earnest endeavor to embody these sentiments. My thesis is influenced by Art Nouveau, Mid-Century Modern, and the Light and Space art movements; in tandem with contemporary makers using both digital and handcrafted skill sets.;
