Art-making has always shared with archeology the challenge of digging for meaning. But, whereas the archeologist digs deeper and deeper to unearth the past, digital art adds layer upon layer, projecting images and ideas into the future. Art-making, like myth, taps into the archetypes we all share, reliving mental journeys via story-telling. As I create individual images, they flow, one into another in a process of free association, each image reacting to the previous in a running animation of changes, telling a visual story.
