Minims: Verts

Minims is a body of work with several series that features the fundamental visual element of the digital age–the pixel. I create Mimims through a process of finding and capturing interesting forms in my past abstract works. I begin by zooming into digital images of my artwork by up to 6,000% (far beyond the human eye's capability to see details in the original work). At this level of magnification, the image's resolution breaks down, revealing fundamental abstract forms. These forms are genuinely abstractions of abstractions, and I think of them as ultra-abstracts. I crop the ultra-abstract forms and create multiple series that capture unique "moments" or ways of seeing within particular slices of time, thus allowing each Minims series to have its own unique character.

Verts (short for verticals) is a series within the Minims body of work. The Verts series emphasizes forms with elongated vertical qualities. I have sometimes slightly exaggerated these forms to create a more powerful effect. Each image in this series has an NFT; three of them are hand-crafted as painted wall reliefs made from Richlite.
