The circle, the most perfect of geometric forms presents me with a challenge. I can’t improve upon it but I can exploit it. How can they be put together to make something new? This is what motivates me when I create circle works. My Quadrans Circuli works take the simple premise of the circle divided into quadrants and orchestrating their composition and color. It’s a formal exercise layered on top of a creative one revealing the duality of my brain.

I’m proud to share pictures from the opening of the exhibition “Let’s Get Digital” at the Ohio Arts Council Riffe Gallery in Columbus Ohio. I am honored to be among this wonderful group of artists in the show. What we have in common is that we all use digital technology as a tool in making our art. Some artists combine digital tools with traditional methods while others, like myself, use 100% digital tools and technology to not only create but render our work. Below are pictures of the show and also the press that has so far covered the exhibition. What I’ve posted here are the pictures the curator Alexandra Nicholis Coon sent me that were taken by her friend and only some of the artists represented were in them. When I get more pictures of the other artists and their work, I will update the post.
I’d like to extend a special thanks to Alex Coon for selecting me to be included in this exhibition and for her support of artists working in digital media. Also, thank you to Mary Gray, director of the Riffe Gallery and to the Ohio Arts Council for making it all possible.
From the Riffe Gallery Website: Curated by Alexandra Nicholis Coon, executive director of the Massillon Museum, “Let’s Get Digital” demonstrates the endless opportunities digital technology offers to the world of art. Whether it be the tool, product, or subject of their artwork, all artists in this exhibition were selected based on their innovative applications of digital technology. To the 15 artists represented in this show, digital technology serves as an avenue for exploring new ideas and relationships that are not possible with traditional media.
The exhibition was covered in the press by the Columbus Dispatch, The lantern at Ohio State University & Columbus Alive. To read the articles click on the pictures below.
