ArtistStatement Perceptions of Reality
In a society in which we are bombarded with digital information, we must look within ourselves for a true understanding of our past and memories. Through the use of the unreal, I hope to bring the viewer to a place that is his own.
My realities are simulated; I want the viewer to be absorbed in my art as he would be absorbed in his own memories. I believe the computer has become an extention of our minds. I have the ability to easily control every aspect of my art, from the light to the weather to where each object is placed. I hope simply to guide the viewer in his experience with my works.
Society has become accustomed to a mass abstracting of reality. Even our so called “reality TV” is scripted and therefore not reality. It makes people believe that is the way things are, but truly they aren’t. My artwork is scripted, although, hopefully, unlike most television and movies, the viewers will be able to see themselves in my work. Rather than it acting as an escape from reality, my art becomes an opening for truth in reality. |
