Artist Statement (Revised)

I have no idea what I’m doing. In terms of my future, major, minor, and where I’ll be an hour from now, everything and anything can go. With my work, I hope to emulate this spirit and use media to develop my skills and refine my ideals as an artist. My work is created through New Media- featuring photography and creating and altering images through Photoshop and Illustrator.  I hope to make the viewers look beyond the image, or art and to see the greater picture. As I’m figuring out what I like and don’t like,  I am creating my own voice.

These works let me show others what the world looks like through my lens. I hope to convey growth and development as my work progresses, to continue to learn more about myself and let my work show that. The things I create show how I interpret trends, modern events, history, and myself. By using new media, I am free to create whatever I see and interpret. I hope to explore and expand my abilities as an artist and further develop this statement. A central theme of my work is the concept of new media itself; from its relationship with society and its effect on our development. With my pieces, I hope viewers feel engaged and are forced to question, to get to a deeper layer of their own understanding of themselves.
