Shamus Clisset

Pairing 3D modeling software with ray tracing, Clisset constructs and documents landscapes, creatures, objects, and scenarios. His prints depict an alternative reality inhabited by his creations, including his alter-ego of sorts, 'Fake Shamus'. This virtual universe is filled with the glistening surfaces of Lamborghinis and football helmets; floating knives, baseball bats, golf clubs, and metallic spheres; disintegrating forms frozen in motion. All of these suggest a world mediated by technology, controlled by commands and software, set into play by a power greater than itself and yet revealed to us by Clisset with an inflection of irony and humor.
