ARTIST’S STATEMENT
WTSN art + photography is an ongoing series of manipulated digital photography inspired by experimental electronic music and the attempt to represent the feel and tone of those sounds visually. Generative art techniques are used to push real world images into further states of abstraction. The results are a collaboration between artist and contemporary post-production tools that promote nonrepresentational composition as a relevant aspect of the artistic language. Some images require minor enhancement to produce a desired result, while others are mutated beyond recognition, occasionally featuring digital 'flaws' which are intentionally highlighted.
