Artist Statement:
My work serves as a commentary on image making and is rooted in the idea of storytelling and of the work of art as a metaphor for the artist’s voice and willingness to mediate meanings through their work. Animation pieces coexist alongside the drawings used to create them and become a unique history of the movement of their coming-into-being and immediate erasure
The pieces I worked on during the residency focus on the issue of communication and explore how meaning can be transmitted through every day, banal actions and gestures, how we use our bodies to communicate with others. Routine gestures repetitively drawn and redrawn place the viewer in a position to contemplate their meaning or lack of.
