“INFORMATION OVERLOAD”
This piece was a literal outpouring of emotion after many months of riots, civil unrest, lockdown, and public uncertainty. The fractured image of the woman, literally coming apart, overlaid against real newspaper articles about the Baltimore riots, the covid pandemic and the general worldwide crisis over the last few years provides a moment in time. Art should provoke an emotion, and when I look at this piece I feel a sense of unease – something that should not be forgotten, or brushed under the rug. As an artist, I want to create pieces that last, that unsettle, that provoke. Most people would rather forget that any of these things happened, but I believe we need to remember, learn from our mistakes and need reminding of what we are capable of destroying if we are not careful.
