Patrick Ethen is an architecturally-trained artist and designer. His work revolves around illumination and the creation of visual effects, utilizing a hybrid of analog and digital techniques to craft ethereal experiences that celebrate the perception of light, color, and the passage of time.
A heightened emphasis on light means Ethen’s work is able to flit between the tenets of art, architecture, and design, existing in a state of synthesis that he describes as more of a New Age Craft than any singular discipline. His process often resembles textile weaving- if one were to replace thread with copper wire and electronic circuitry. Ethen’s work suggests that art is an individual’s unique aesthetic experience, a dance which exists primarily in the mind of the observer.
