Rooted in spontaneity, I refer to my work as Computer Evolved Digital Composition or, more broadly, Digital Compositions or Computer Evolved Art. This terminology deliberately pays homage to the human artist and creator, by insinuation rather than the machine as creative source. This reinforces my belief that within art, “there is no foreal, there is only what we make.” By viewing the artist as the architect, my work has evolved through numerous generations, some tracing back over twenty-five years, while others have only recently reached completion.
Each composition is assembled from layered photographic and digital elements, textures, and symbolic references to form an image that does not exist in reality prior to its creation.
My objective is to work with the insight of historical art movements, merging their essence with digital technology. It must be implicit that the human creates, not the machine. I disagree with terms like "Computer Art," "Electronic Art," or any "Generated Art," as they imply creativity belongs to the software. These labels often act as a form of prejudgment, fueled by industry bias, finance and a misunderstanding of the artist's role as the architect of the work. Computer Evolved Art is a unique form where tradition and technology intersect with the rhythms of insight within a changing world.
