about dipie

 

 

I begin with a material object and a thought. At times I get lucky and it’s pure inspiration. Although, much of the time I must experiment like a scientist, which recalls my beginnings of producing and grinding my own pigments for use in painting on canvas.

In recent years I’ve used ready-mades and hacked them to form objects of new thought relationships. Revealing in the doing and outcome, hidden truths, forever unseen if not Art.

Currently I utilize a new human made material with life properties similar to our own, a silly material with growth and expansion properties, in which again, I manipulate to bring forth Art.
