As an artist I'm trying to understand what makes certain mediums more cherished than others. Why is woodwork or oil painting passed down as an heirloom and digital art treated as ephemeral? Traditional crafts seem to have a warmth and longevity that makes them precious and give us a sense of enduring connection with the material and the artist. In contrast, we have a tendency to view things made digitally as cold, synthetic, and momentary. My art is born from a desire to weave that digital world seamlessly into my own crafted objects, blurring the line between digital creator and craftsman.
