description:
|
We all put on facades and are pushed to conform to ideals around us, particularly in today-s generations. I utilize the rainbow to expound upon the spectrum of human nature-s most colorful corruptions. Using myself as a model for my reference photos, I create new aliases, which break certain molds of social construction, especially those of a young woman. I also defy conventional oil portrait painting by using nontraditional surfaces. Each figure pushes the boundaries of two and three dimensions, challenges preconceptions of beauty and morality, and struggles against hierarchy through various forms of relational aesthetics. The primary and secondary colors in this series embody the complexities of a single moment in time in order to confront the viewers- own priorities in life.
