In the year 2002 we can measure the weight, density, length, width, volume, shape and mass of tissue...but how do we measure the soul or the life within the tissue? Likewise, we can measure the texture map, the mesh, the postwork, but how much of each do we need to transform the elements into something unique. The artist is an alchemist working with the components relative to each other and themselves to create something different from its parts. Black added to white creates grey, in grey we see neither black or white but only the grey...likewise a texture map added to a model added to a mesh-morph or a pose becomes art when we no longer see the texture map, the mesh-morph or pose but see the combination as something different....
