The kanji means "STORM" it comes from a combination of the old seal script forms of Kanjis for Falling Rain - 霏, Cloud - 雲, Lightning/electricity - 電, and Thunder - 靁

All these words share a common top radical - 雨 (rain)
So this gave me an angle through which I combined them into one new word - "STORM"

You see 2 works being made in this video, one is the Kanji it's self, the other one is the emotional image that it conjures up in my mind .

I hope through by approaching this from a very antiquated level, as well as on a modern avant garde level, I can help people make a more meaningful sub-conscious connection to Japanese/Chinese characters than tattoos, tee-shirts, and baseball caps provide.

This video show how I translated these feelings from the raw brush work and drawings into multi-planar plastic.
Enjoy!!
Please let me know what you think.

P.S. The gallery show opens August 15th, 2008 at Nobrow Coffee and tea.
P.P.S. The music is Alberto Basalm by Aphex Twin.
