ARTIST STATEMENT
I’ve always thought that problem solving is highly overrated and that problem creation is far more interesting.
- Chuck Close
I have spent a large part of the last year trying to understand my own working habits. I have discovered this process by working intuitively and have only tried to understand bits at a time. In some cases I have found answers my own questions about the work, however there are parts of the process that I am still working out.
I have chosen a labor-intensive process that forces me to ask what it means to spend so much time deconstructing these images only to rebuild them using an almost obsessive-compulsive method of systematically numbering each piece. It is simultaneously cathartic and overwhelming. While the process itself holds much significance, the end result speaks a meaning of its own.
My work speaks about a loss of information, a fragmentation that happens in our identification of others in the age of technology. We participate in social networking websites and use cell phones as a way of interacting with individuals.
The creation of these images is an attempt to study and interpret the problems we face when our identities are built through impersonal methods.
