Fantasy Analog

Old TV Aquarium

Ever wondered what to do with that ancient 26″ wooden TV set laying around in your grandparent’s garage? Turn it into a unique aquarium.

This type of analog focuses on the eccentric and bizarre. Only images we often dream of. How about watching fish through a tv screen? Bizarre enough?

Sensory / Synaesthetic Analog

Artist’s Comments

“All we need is a little bit of momentum
Breakdown these walls that we’ve built around ourselves
All we need is a little bit of inertia
Breakdown and tell breakdown and tell—

That you are the rain on the fire
Deep in the trees when no one was looking
Should I speak of this ?
You are a mirage in the distance
That defies the heat of the desert
Should I believe in you

These rules are made to break and these walls are built to fall
These rules are made to break us all…”

Momentum, The Hush Sound

This is the painting of a perception of momentum waves.
