Artist Statement
In
this artwork, I sought to use photography, drawing and magazine cut-outs to
produce a transfer print.
I
was inspired by a photograph by Zultan Huszti. It resembled an ink drawing I
made two years ago. The similarities and differences of the two images made for a good collage.
This idea made me think of the different people in the world, so different yet
so similar.
When
you read the newspaper or watch the news, you’ll know the terrible things
people are capable of. These terrible things transcends race, age, culture or
time. Love and evil swirl in the souls of all human beings and when you look at
the world, today, evil is dominating love. The eyes in my print are sheilded by
glasses alluding to eyes being windows to the soul, we hide our eyes. Are we
hiding our eyes from the world or are we hiding the world from our eyes?
