"Crane might seem like a bit of a slacker, but the submerged section of the iceberg that is Craneβs artistic practice is equal parts colossal undertakings and meticulous craftsmanship."
I love this quote from @bradyevanwalker 's in-depth feature for @MakersPlace. As we spend more and more time online, the pressure grows to validate an artistic practice through visible output. With technology improving at breakneck speed, this pressure is intensifying, particularly with generative AI. I truly believe this creates opportunity - a necessity - for hand-crafted, patient work that stands outside the moment to reflect on the long view of human experience.
Brady's article covers the past three years of my practice in #web3, from live opera to an animated feature film.

Crane has more ambition and patience up his sleeve with a hand-painted animation, 5 years in the making and still ongoing.
