Description
We all communicate visually - everyday and with everyone. Our expressions, our clothes, our movement and our art all speak volumes about us, which we mysteriously understand the instant we see it in each other.

Speaking visually through images is an act that transcends nationality and in some ways individuality itself. A picture is a way to express or explain a situation that words alone cannot convey – to someone other than the creator of the image. It is this relationship, cultivated through visual interpretation and cultural understanding that has kept me addicted to this craft since day one.

I think that perhaps all artists feel similar – when they show work to someone – and hope that the viewer “gets” the visual cues. I’ve personally found that when people don’t get my specific intention, they often get something similar – in their own words and from their own worldviews. That is the essence and beauty of speaking visually for me; it’s a two way street where no one is ever “wrong.”

My entry was modeled from scratch with no references. I wanted to depict the somewhat esoteric and enigmatic strength of a computer artists’ graphics card – personifying this strength as an infinitely complex structure in a industrial manufacturing environment - with a nod to steam punk sensibility.

I used an Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT that came with my laptop to render this image – the cogs were drawn in Illustrator and then everything else was done in Cinema 4D with a touch of post work done in Photoshop.
