Augmented Reality

In Augmented, I’m using technology—specifically your phone and the Artivive App—to bring the mixed media collage paintings to life. This exciting layer of augmented reality offers a deeper look into the creative process, making it possible to share the story behind each piece in a way that goes beyond the canvas.

For me, this is a unique opportunity. I’m thrilled to reveal the experiences that inspire the work you’re seeing right now. It’s the result of hundreds of hours of filming and editing footage—capturing moments of welding, fabrication, painting, sculpture, and scenes from the gardens and lotus pond on my property. These captured moments offer an intimate look into my process of growth and creation behind the making of the chakra series.

One of the filming techniques used in these videos I’m most proud of is what I call fractal gemstone photography and videography. I found a way to film through natural gemstones. It creates the wild, 3D floating visuals you see in these productions. It’s such a joy to integrate all the things I love into this project and to share that delight with you through augmented reality.

The augmented reality is so exciting to me because it gives me a way to share what goes on behind the creation of these immersive mixed media collage paintings. This is a unique opportunity, as an artist, I am so excited to have a way to express and reveal the experiences that influence the work you are seeing in this moment. This is 100s of hours of filming, editing, of the footage of welding, fabrication, painting, sculptures, the gardens and lotus pond on the property which are one of the principle charters that inspired the content of this chakra series. I am really proud of discovering the new technique of what I call fractal gemstone photography and videography. Filming through natural gemstones is what creates that wild 3d imagery you are seeing in the productions. It is such a delight to play at this level where I am able to include so many thing I love.
