The mind is a powerful tool, creating a paradox by using itself to understand itself.
Researching The Unknown & Creating Unseen Realities. Through Different Forms of Expression.
Artist statement
The desire to discover and explore the unknown has been a driving force in human history for centuries. From the earliest days of human civilization, people have been curious about the world around them. As an artist, I want to give a different perspective on what it means to be human through a woman’s eyes. My work depicts a creative mind questioning one’s identity through the reality bestowed upon her.
Start with asking the question, what does it mean to be a WOMAN?
I fully know that what it means to be a woman is a complex and multifaceted concept that will lead me and others down the path of introspection. Analyzing thoughts, feelings, environments, experiences, and perceptions of the world around us. Using my senses to lay the foundation for a series of works dedicated to creating dialogue around how societal structures have a mental hold on our perception of reality historically.
My artwork takes a critical view of social and cultural issues. Communicating through 2D and 3D forms. Thus far, the work has used experiences and voices to create intricate stories, decrypting my ancestor’s past and showcasing how their existence intertwines with our present.
Creating art that stems from introspection is a deep desire to fully understand the psychology behind what it means to be a self. This can take many forms within my craft, such as writing, garmenting, sculpting, collaging, and interviewing, to express complex ideas. This type of art often aims to connect with others on a deeper level and provoke thought and reflection in the viewers. Within my next phase of work, I want to continue to push the boundaries of what is considered art. Throughout my creative process, it’s essential to be inspired by the voices and experiences of others. This feeds into my creative process of creating silhouettes and shapes for garments & sculptures.
Being an Artist is allowing yourself to fully question and answer things truthfully without the world swaying your opinions and thoughts.
