Statement
|
|
My work is an exploration of the mythology of spirituality, the politics of aesthetics, and the connections between sacred and profane. For me, a necessary function of art is to examine the overlap of these two realms, the space of actual experience. We live in an era in which reproduction and simultaneity define our world. I want to re-interpret this collective visual language in hopes of finding parallels between disparate iconography. My goal is to challenge belief structures and create a dialog about the perception of life and death in contemporary society.
