Description

As I am concerned with the process of a creation, what interests me is what is learned along the way. Through this and all projects I do, I gain a deeper appreciation of the materials that I work with. Getting the “Lyric Fragments” to appear as ghostly words took a team of people, since my original idea of using UV didn’t work. The strategy defined itself as the piece developed.
