Artistic Statement

While I still have not decided on the type of media I want to use in my works and will continue to experiment with different mediums and processes, I use my art as a way to examine and express my feelings of self doubt in the context of society. Although I am still developing what I want to express exactly, so far I have been looking into my personal doubts about my body and identity, especially in regards to the standards of beauty and societal pressure. I hope to develop this subject more and take a more in depth look these subjects throughout the year. My most recent pieces have involved me creating articles of clothing and then painting on them with repeating motifs relating to these subjects. I like to use both dark and bright, but often unnatural colors in my works to create a surreal feeling, especially with my digital pieces.
