As I complete this masters certificate program in Art history, I am stricken by the lack of representation of women and artists of color over the centuries. I understand the historical reasons behind their exclusion due to the makeup of the ruling class, however I now question its impact on the Eurocentric artists I idolized, and how homogenous that group is. Now, as an adult, I must make the effort outside the education system to inform and dedicate myself to gain a wider understanding.
CURRENT WORK
I have always struggled with looking at myself or my life objectively. This has been a particular challenge when it comes to the narrative behind my artwork. Over the years I have experimented with many approaches, mediums, subject matters, all while trying to find the process that would allow me to accurately communicate my feelings and thoughts around a subject. They are often complex and shifting. I’ve struggled to capture this in a singular image, a static self contained work. I now believe I have found the “language” and process that lets me fully articulate the intricacies of my perspective. And beyond that, I believe I have found the way that allows my work to be a conversation with the viewer. It is no longer linear and it invites the viewer to physically manifest their interpretation. This process allows the work to keep evolving over time. I have finally manifested the first whispers of this idea, and it is everything I imagined it to be. Meaning via context. The experiment is now over. Now it is time to express and explore.
