Memory at the Kinetica Art Fair 2010

I had the pleasure of exhibiting one of my works, Memory, with glass artist Agelos Papadakis at the Kinetica Art Fair 2010, from February 4-7th, 2010. The work was presented by TINTarts as well as another piece by Dave Murray-Rust, Agelos Papadakis, and Owen Green, called ChaoDependant.

I’ve also uploaded pictures on my flickr account

I went through an attempt of photoshopping the few pictures with some ridiculous looking lines.  It didn’t seem to capture the space.  Next attempt was with Illustrator.  Hmm.  Nope not much further.  Maybe just draw the thing?  Nope.  I couldn’t seem to get the scale right or even think about how to lay out the design in a space I wasn’t really sure about.  I just couldn’t visualize the … Continue reading...
