In the Elysium Expanse (Work in Progress)


 The Elysium Expanse is a piece of art with no end. Within its space, art is whatever you wish to make it. The art is fluid, starting as one thing and merging and changing into another. 

You may ask "why"? What is the purpose? The only purpose is what is seen within the Expanse at any given moment. It can change at the artists whim.

The concept of the Elysium Expanse came from earlier experiments in both Ephemeral and Conceptual art forms, pioneered by the artist. It incorporates both art forms by using permanent and temporary objects to form each piece of art. 

This means that the art is constantly morphing, but is saved at each stage through the use of photography and digital art. Essentially it becomes many pieces of art rather than only one.


As has been noted, the Expanse has already morphed several dozen times when live models were used rather than the current face. 





The line work is real, made from yarn crisscrossed in different patterns throughout the expanse. This means that the art fits the definition of Tumultuism. 

When you begin to incorporate mass mediums and digital art into the work, the combinations are endless.
