| dc.description.abstract | The artist's statement: What is art? What should art accomplish? Answers to these questions are limitless. If you ask twenty different people, you will get twenty different answers. Some think art should be comforting; others think it should be confrontational. Some say the point of art is to entertain, while others say art should enlighten. In such an ambiguous field, each artist needs to decide for themselves what purpose their art serves. For me, art should tell a story. My aim as an artist is to share a story with whoever views my work. With some pieces, such as illustrated works, the tale is easy to discover, but in others the stories are veiled, subtly conveyed through a specific font or a grouping of colors. Nothing is coincidental in my art; everything is chosen to help tell my story. Many times, those who view my work will not know the reasons behind each decision, and they may not know the story I am trying to share. Therefore, I invite those who view my art to do so as I view art in general: searching for a story, and in the end, making up their own. Nothing would make me happier as an artist than to spark the imagination, as my imagination has been sparked by the art around me. This shared connection between artist and viewer is what I strive for, and it further reaffirms my belief that art, at its core, should tell a story. | |
