1. Projecting this work in neon light allows the viewer to be absorbed in a number of
ways: from the crude nature of the language to its loud color choice, one cannot
look away but instead is bombarded and faced to look head on.
2. Surrounded by burned rejection letters, a woman stands tall. This woman displays a
demeanor of being proud, yet unforgiving. With bold colors and harsh words, the viewer
clearly approaches a feminist approach in regards to rejection in the art world. This work
may invoke memories of rejection within our own lives.
3. Over lit in a subtle shade of pink, the viewer is confronted with imagery from
an iconic poster of the Vietnam War. In blood red letters is the phrase “And
babies,” which shows a complete lack of respect for war and invokes protest,
bringing memory of not only the past but the present.
4. This piece, made from oil and foam literally stands out amongst the rest. Instead of
creating a 2d painting, the foam allows the piece to become 3d. With a sense of coming to
life, the viewer is faced with a sense of distortion and disassociation with identity.
5. By using photographs, the viewer is subjected to the world of the artist and
their perspective. Memories of the artists’ experiences are shared with the
viewer and in turn allow the viewer to associate their own experiences to
these pieces. Using simple imagery allows for a more humbling experience.
6. In this installation, the viewer is subjected to neon and the use of video installation.
Within this installation one finds themselves within a soap opera. Walking into the
space, and being able to sit down close to the installation, allows for a reflection of
everyday life and the expectations behind consumer culture.
