B I A A Beloved in Art Association

In modern days, it’s easy to forget how things actually come to be.  As technology has propelled the convenience of life, everything seems to appear in front of you with a touch of a button. Humanity has forgotten the concept and process of making.

This concept became the sole reason why I strayed from creating machine dependent art; such as photography, digitally manipulated art with the help of computers, and video art.  This pushed me towards a more physical intensive area of the art world – ceramic and photography without the use of a camera.

I have a passion for clay because it captures the physical essence of force.  I could mold it to take shape since it responds to the slightest force from my fingertips.  This makes for a very intimate connection with the artist. I enjoy shaping the clay to convey an organic feel to the viewer, since ceramics require such a high level of physical manipulation

As for my photographs, I disliked how a camera would produce pictures simply by pressing a button, but I enjoyed how photographs captured the spectrum of light waves.  Therefore, I decided not to use a camera; I wanted to create a photograph that portrayed the organic and naturalistic feel without using a camera.  As a result, I developed a technique that shines wax through a projector onto photo paper.
