Eifel Tower and tree composition / right Stereo image Print

Following the tradition of Dali and Duchamp I explore the potential of stereoscopic imaging techniques to evoke the emotive power of depth in the viewer. These emotive powers of space and depth are the driving forces in my art practice. I develop an aesthetics of space through an interplay of divergent art techniques which render space tangible on the canvas. In the studio I employ a creative mixture of 'high and low' technology solutions to express the texture of space in my art work. I utilize purpose built stereoscopic cameras to capture the space created by a collage of objects, a still life, the texture of fabric or imprints left by natural processes on the canvas. I like to employ highly innovative imaging processes ( e.g. anamorphic stereoscopy) in combination with traditional art techniques like collage and painting. In my artwork I explore the texture of visual space. I like to use stereoscopic 3D techniques to explore the rich texture of these spaces. When viewed with 3D glasses my artwork reveals the material, tactile quality of visual space. The viewer experiences shapes, forms and colors emerging in front and behind the display, transforming the canvas into a visual membrane. As the viewer interacts with the art work the boundary between visual space and real space dissolves.
