Blog Entry Heading: Grad Research Artist Statement and New Semester Work Documentation





100 word artist statement:

The bases for my art practice are rooted around the concept of perpetual human struggle. I stage performative actions that give rise to issues of repetitive, restless tasking without distinct resolution. I have been using my naked body as a metaphor for the emotional alienation and struggle that occurs in life. Nakedness symbolizes the lack of protection both physically and psychologically that is afforded in each work.
Video is my primary tool. Motion and gesture when experienced fluidly intensifies the feelings of frustration and repetition. The addition of contrived sound is integral to this exaggerated sense of futility and awkwardness.
