Enraptured by the mythos of the American West,

my grandfather Hans Kleiber struck out for the Wyoming Wilderness.

After years of mapping glaciers, fighting forest fires, and surveying

the Medicine Wheel, he became a “full time artist” and built a log cabin studio.

In later years I spent many lovely nights drawing plans for my

future projects in this log cabin at the foot of the Big Horns.

The austerity and majesty of this place has colored my soul.

But I grew up also at what was to become Silicon Valley

and came of age as an artist in the early 1990’s when the

tools for interactive multimedia became available.

I created environments with computers cobbled

to video cameras and sound devices.

So, in this body of work I’m taking yet another new tool

and cajoling it into communicating my artistic statement

about the Human condition.

The vast landscapes of the Wilderness invade, crash into,

and become one with the human face,

evoking the inexorable oneness of Humankind and Nature.

This recent work is created in Zoom using an i pad and it’s Digital Art.
