Tibet

These past few years, I’ve discovered the joys of creating art on the computer. I’m an old-school kind of guy, but fell in love with the possibilities of color on the computer.

In the Tibet series, it all started with a box of 1950’s airplane flight maps I found in our garage that had been my father’s when we had our own small airplane on the outskirts of Chicago.

I’ve also loved maps, and especially these maps, which were detailed flight maps. I glued pieces of the crumpled-up maps onto big pieces of foam board, photographed them, then shined laser lights on them and photographed them again. When I downloaded the photos into the computer, I started folding them onto themselves, over and over, plus playing with color. I’ve always been fascinated by Tantric art and with the idea that one looks at a picture, relaxes the eyes and focuses on the center.
