My name is
Will Bettis

Thank you for stopping by!

My focus is on using engineering, art, and curiosity to make cool stuff. My driving motivation is a desire to use my work as a means to communicate, to make bridges across cultural and geopolitical divides in pursuit of connection and understanding.

Engineering is binary. The hard-edged principles of logic and mathematical expression provide structure, scaffolding and framework that supports and animates. It amplifies, it extends. Engineering reaches around the world, and beyond it, with a relentless search for knowledge and a hunger for understanding.
Engineering explores. It challenges.
It exists where the falling angel meets the rising ape

Art is analog. It is emotion. Art tells stories. Art acts as a mirror which invites us to reflect on ourselves, our societies, our cultures. Art is a lens, zooming out for a larger perspective or moving in to provide focus.
Art connects us. Art inspires us.
Art makes us human.

Curiosity ties everything together. It is multidisciplinary. It is finding similarities between things which may be widely, wildly dissimilar and connecting them in ways that create something unique. In the larger world, as with humans, connections are more common and often run deeper than may appear at first glance.

It is my goal to use my diverse background and unique perspective to create things that inspire, that teach and provoke thought, to make artifacts and installations which spark conversation and evoke emotions and hopefully, possibly, provide catalyst for change.

So take your time. Look around. I hope you find something that leaves you with inspiration, delight, or a new perspective.

And if you believe that I’ve been successful in my goal, feel free to let me know.

You can also reach out if you have ideas, would like to see about a commissioned piece, or if you are interested in collaborating to make something wonderful together.

Thank you!
