ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
I like to work from photographs that I have taken. Some of the subjects are in traditional poses, while others are in a slightly uncomfortable situation, taken somewhat by surprise. Sometimes the sense of discomfort comes through and reads as if the subject isn’t sure about the responsibility that comes with being recorded as a work of art. I try to use photographs that hold some sense of expectation in the face of the subjects.
I feel that relating to other people is essential to having an understanding of ourselves. Putting an arbitrary spotlight on people in my work has forced me to think less about myself, but has also opened my eyes to my place in the collective. I hope that through my portraits the viewer can step outside of the general concern for their individual existence, and see themselves through the eyes of a stranger. The halo is a symbol attributed to sainthood, which is something that is earned. I choose to give the halos in this series to show that the sacred can be found in the mundane. This work is about everyone’s place on a pedestal.
feel free to put whatever the fuck else you want about me. i wont be mad if you are honest in your description of who you have found me to be.
I’m proud to have dodged your vomit.
