Gold Entropic

by Richard Freeman

“These days, “watching the fireworks” has come to mean a great deal more to me than it did earlier in my life. When I was younger, the local football stadium rested below a sky filled with noise and color, and I waited excitedly each summer for the experience. Fireworks are stunning displays to sit back and watch on their own, but a new way to appreciate them emerges from my interaction. I’m drawn to the craft because it’s my motion in collaboration with the expanse of light painting the sky that creates something new – something frozen in time and unanticipated. People often tell me that my works look like underwater scenes, like neurons, dreamscapes, or simply like nothing they have ever seen before. I can only agree with each and every one of them. My foremost goal is to add some beauty to the world, and to remind myself and others that even in the most ephemeral, dazzling moments, there are always ways to capture that feeling and make it your own to keep.”
