I see good ideas, irrelevant ideas, failure and
accomplishment in my work, but above all I see the recreation of what I want to
portray and how each and every one of my ideas comes together in my final
piece. What I like about my work is that when I begin a piece I am most of the
time unsure of the meaning but as I continue to progress and work on it I find
that definite meaning instantaneously.
Nostalgia is a reoccurring theme that tends to come up over
and over again throughout my work. I enjoy exposing this theme because I am the
type of person that is able to look back on past memories and recreate them in
my artwork.
Techniques that work best for me are scale and color. As a
child all my toys seemed very large- but I guess that was due to the fact that
I was physically smaller. I upscale all of my art to make myself and my viewers
feel like a kid again. The overwhelming emotion that a toy has over a person is
to me- the best feeling.
Although black and white are colors used to represent the
past, I believe that bright, vibrant colors reflect my past. Color definitely
adds a lot to my pieces. I used vibrant colors such as red, yellow, green and
blue to bring life and make my work come to life.
Food is something that I like to incorporate in my work as
well. Whether it is photography or sculpture I believe that food is absolutely
a great way to bring people together and celebrate life. I love capturing the
realness and tasting it in my artwork.
All in all, my art focuses on the past as well as bringing
people together in the future.
