Technical Artist

I build real-time systems for spatial environments: terrain, architecture, simulation, and interactive experiences. Most of the work starts with real-world data, processed into environments that hold up at 1:1 scale under true coordinates.

About

Various 1999

  1. A snowbound alpine basin under broken cloud. Snow-laden conifers run along the left shore of a frozen lake, bare rock breaks through the drifts on the right, and a fox lies on a low cantilevered platform in the middle distance with wind-driven snow blowing past.

  2. A wide overgrown valley under a heavy red-orange sky, the sun burning through low cloud. Charred tree stumps and scrub cover the mounded foreground, and a long low structure with a broad flat roof sits half-buried in the ridgeline beyond.

  3. A misty meadow filled with hundreds of pale tapered forms standing in the grass like a crowd, receding into fog. A tight cluster of warm orange forms sits at the centre, the only colour in the frame.

    Habitat

  4. A two-storey house in daylight, dark stone volumes set against wide bands of pale timber cladding, with a steel-and-glass stair running down to a terrace and dining table. Snow-covered peaks rise behind it under broken cloud.

  5. A bedroom corner in daylight. An oak headboard panel runs the width of the frame behind white and grey bedding with a checked throw; at the left a black slatted nightstand carries a rattan vase of dracaena and a bare globe bulb on an oak block, lit warm against a plain white wall.

  6. An elementary school entrance on a clear day. A white folded-plate canopy floats over a fully glazed lobby, two yellow school buses stand at either side, and children and parents cross a tulip-lined path towards a striped crossing.
