    Frozen Moment

    I made instances of the same figure and placed them in a circle. Their orientation is random. Made of glass lines they are fragile. Most of the time I try to create images which would be difficult as a conventional drawing or painting. The feeling of line, glass, lights, space and shadows introduces special qualities.

    One of the challenges with computer modeling is to pose a figure in an interesting way. Modeling a figure in clay is much easier. Then have the clay model scanned and entered as a file. In the above pose I used computer modeling but I was lucky. She has the feel of a fashion model.

    Infinite Universe

    The sense of depth and scale to the universe is like science fiction. Where are the boundaries or the edges? It is indeed awesome! At the same time this is still nature but at a grand scale. Instead of looking at the landscape of earth we can look up at nature where there is no floor plane or background. Just space and matter or forms.

    Here is a fragment of my infinite universe. A snapshot or instance in time. I can show millions of viewpoints of this universe. We could travel for billions of years. The visual cues provided by perspective, depth of field and layers of transparency enhances the qualities of space and form.

    Plagiarism

    This image raises some interesting questions. I did not create the data representing the flowers and the vines. Somebody did an excellent job of modeling the flowers and especially the vines with leaves. It was free data captured from the internet. I modified the data and made instances or copies of it. The original data was too mechanical and so I played with my fragmentation tool. I introduced transparency and the colors and placed the objects in 3d space. Also my concept about space and figure to ground relationships are a factor.

    Who is the artist here? Is it the people who created the models or is it me? Who should get credit for this work?

    Horsey

    Perhaps this should not see the light of day but I enjoyed creating it. My grandchildren think its pretty cool. Any parent can relate to the game Horsey.The bones for the legs and feet have been on my system since the late 70’s. Like finding prehistoric body parts in the basement. Skull is more recent.

    Caravaggio is looking and reminding me I am using his chiaroscuro technique. He was the innovator and a great representative of Baroque painting. The contrasts between light and dark give more emphasis to the three dimensional effect. The dark on the sides of the skulls function as a transition between them and the background.
