I like ambiguity in art. Uncertainty. What has to conform to the limits of our reality? Metal, glass and flesh can merge seamlessly, as if the surreal worlds and the life forms within are one and the same, and yet at odds sometimes. I rarely seek to endow my works with any "message". I am more interested in people's personal responses.
I'm a multimedia artist working in fine art (including sculpture), digital art, graphic design and various forms inbetween, also illustrating book covers and numerous CD covers. I also work in musical soundscaping, both solo and in group projects, of which there are many releases. I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone here who has supported me in my work and beyond since I began posting in June 2001. Too many to mention, you all know who you are... I'm meeting very special people here :-)
Update 01-08-05: I've been given a 4 page feature article in Issue 3 of the new media magazine Contour based in Atlanta, Georgia. The images printed very well and they did me proud.
Update 21-03-06: I've been spending the last 6 months living in New South Wales, Australia. Inspiring place! Also in the process of illustrating the book covers for a series of Japanese books called Hikishio no Toki (Time of the Ebb Tide) by Mayumura Taku - to date I've completed the first two of the five volumes. I've recently been returning to traditional media as well as producing the usual digital art, and contributed a sculptural canvas to a recent local exhibition. Link: Saatchi Gallery webspace
Update 09-01-21: I hadn't even logged in for some years. It's weird nipping back here after not even posting for 13 years, like revisiting your old school incognito. As I'm not active here anymore I wonder if anyone will even see this again besides me.

I have truly enjoyed watching you create in this media, the results are so ambiguous, interacting and unfolding within the viewer's mind. Subjectivity plays such a role in the interpretation of abstract art, which is probably what's holding people back from commenting...they are most likely picking up on the deformation of the left breast, which seems to distract from the rest of her body ;) big hugs Still haven't thought of a title, but I'm sure one will come along shortly ;) Lots of love and thank you SO much for creating and sharing biggest hugs. xxx

Interpretation is obviously very subjective, whatever Cass is seeing I see something completely different! I prefer not to interpret too much to be honest but just appreciate the purely abstract interplay of organic form, light & texture. It's fascinating to see how much this image change with the different lighting, it would be cool to see an animated version with the light moving I think! Nice work once again Jim ; )

Thanks Bev! Cassie was actually making a facetious joke I think ;-)
