The Book of Luminous Objects is a series of experimental and exploratory projects where I draw on my interests in landscapes, nature and new digital creative tools.

The concept is to sketch the idea in a small watercolour sketchbook and then translate the ideas to a digital animation or experience.

As well as providing more solid examples of portfolio level work, it provides opportunities to really delve into and test new technologies and workflows.

For example it shows how I can synchronise audio, light and visual art to create unique animations.

It shows the ability to render using realtime technologies in certain ways and has supported me in finding hidden links between the softwares. Knowing this helps me understand the capabilities of this kind of work so it can be expanded into a variety of applications. The opportunities could be endless.

So many of these tools require repeated practice, so I took it upon myself to build a strategy to get better and enhance my expertise and have some fun on the way.

The turnaround might be a lot slower than what the algorithm demands of creators in posting daily to social media, but I believe that doing something enjoyable is a more satisfying way to develop my practice, skillset and dreamlike ideas in this way.
