Artist Statement
My background as
an artist is in graffiti. What began as reckless thrill seeking eventually
developed into a fine tuned craft, which I still am constantly striving to
improve. Though I no longer create my art in the streets, they remain in the
essence and soul of my art.
I
am a student at Hunter College studying emerging media. Right now I’m focusing
on a diverse group of media production subjects and techniques. By developing a
wide range of skills and knowledge of the subjects I hope to find a more
specific focus of direction with which to take my career and work as an artist.
I
am currently studying Web Design, Game Programming, Audio and Video Production,
and Physical computing Interactive Installations. Working with an array of programs like Photoshop, Final Cut,
Processing, Unity 3D, and Max/Msp, I have just breached the surface of a vast
world of options for creating digital media.
My
recent projects have been trying to tie together these two worlds of digital
media with street art. It is a challenge to recreate the graffiti as more than
just an art form but also as an experience. My ultimate goal is to successfully
translate and communicate my graffiti background into a digital medium while
maintaining as much of the spirit and experiential elements as possible.
