David Wicks is an artist currently living in California. I grew up mostly in Oxford, Ohio, with childhood stints in Thailand and Japan while my parents were on sabbatical.
I am interested in exploring the relationships between people and places. In particular, I am interested in the perceived dichotomy between human and natural spaces and constructs, and in reconciling the two by exploring the areas where they overlap. To that end, I enjoy making things, from software to objects, from animations to installations. I also like spending time with people, traveling, and eating burritos.
You can get in touch with me by sending email to: david ‹at› sansumbrella ‹dot› com.
