Michael Hefferon
Photographer, Mixed-Media, Digital-Artist
I live in the space between dreams and reality, on the edge of the matrix inside the glitch, constantly dancing between what is, what was, and what has yet to be. I push the boundaries of possible and impossible in pursuit of what it truly means to be alive. Attempting to live a life rooted in truth, beauty, freedom, and above all else, love. To love my life through expression of a feeling, a motion, a memory, a thought, or a fleeting moment. My work is about shifting perspective, capturing fragments of life and experience, gathering bits of visual data and energy as they move through the universe, and turning them into something you don’t just see, but feel.
That pursuit has led me to create artifacts, physical objects, digital works, visual motion, moving light, and vibration, both visual and audible. My art exists across the tangible and intangible worlds. Some pieces you can own, hold, and touch, while others live in a virtual space, experienced only through sight and sound. Each work begins as an image, a video, or a sound fragment that evolves through vision, adaptation, and artistic stylization, bringing the digital into the physical through unique layering techniques and material transformation. The result is work that feels alive, holding movement even in stillness. I’m driven by an unwavering desire to grow, to expand my understanding of what’s possible while I’m here, and to leave behind a body of work that lives beyond me. At its core, my art is about connection, creating visuals that speak to others, stir something inside them, and move them to act. It’s about loving your life, accepting the moment, and having the patience and courage to create anyway.
