24 Short Pieces, 2008

Motion Drawings on DVD

24 Short Pieces is a series of motion clips inspired by a suite of drawings by the same name executed by the artist Cy Twombly. Although my work is far removed stylistically from Twombly it was my goal to capture the immediacy and fluidity of his drawings.

I consider these pieces to be more in the realm of drawing than the obvious interpretation of video or animation. When creating these works I was thinking in terms of mark making, layering and erasures, trying to build up a rich, tactile surface even though the work is purely digital.

Although the works in the series are computer generated motion, I view myself more as a painter than an animator. One only needs to look at the work of artists such as Jessica Stockholder, Katharina Grosse, or an artist directly engaged in the digital, such as Jeremy Blake, to clearly see that paint on canvas is not the only way to make a painting and pencil or charcoal on paper is not the only way to make a drawing.off the part of these ordinary life, and shape it into their artworks.
