Statement:
My work challenges the viewer on multiple levels. I use vivid colors and images reminiscent of Andy Warhol's silk screens, but while Warhol was interested in celebrity and glamour, I'm investigating social issues such as the environment and consumerism. Using text as well as Pop aspects of simple images I draw attention to the sharp divide between American cultural aspirations and reality. In addition, I'm rethinking the traditional still life and aim to engage the viewer through the format of the series or repeated image in order to re-contextualize my subject matter. Series work allows me to comment on the repetitiveness of consumer culture as well as explore image influences more thoroughly than I could through a single painting. My aesthetic strategies of repetition and the reproduction of images draw attention to the interconnection among my chosen images.
