Piece description from the artist
I make these LCD Abstractions by photographing my television screen while adjusting my digital antenna. This makes the imagery appear choppy and unpredictable and becomes a fun experience to try and photograph. I take thousands of pictures this way and find the ones that somehow standout to make into bigger prints. I then take a graphite pencil and lightly shade into it, all over it, to enhance the forms within it. It becomes a meditative experience. Slowing down my perceptions by drawing over every detail of these television prints reminds me how important it is to continue experiencing the world in deeper ways. This work provides an example of what can be done to actively regard what our inventions are throwing at us instead of letting them serve as mindless distractions.
Brandon was raised in rural Northeast Texas where his closest exposure to art was the graffiti on the trains passing by behind his house. He took a scholarship to go to TCU in Fort Worth, TX, where he chose to pursue a BFA in Studio Art after a semester abroad in London. He then received a fellowship to get his MFA in Photography at Savannah College of Art and Design. His thesis show was titled, "Arranging for the Fore, Separating Four and 4", and used photography to explore the way cultures create symbols in search of truth in the world, using different aspects of it to help guide our existence. After SCAD Brandon lived in New York for several years as an artist assistant and photography instructor. He now resides in Los Angeles and continues exploring new techniques in photography and drawing and taking part in various exhibitions.
