Reflection: artist’s statement draft

I submitted something recently and so began thinking about an artist’s statement. We must supply one for BoW so here it is a start:

I work with still, moving, original and found images, as well as text, aiming to explore seismic structural shifts in our transformative world. I am interested in the constructions which emerge from and feed into language. I reject the notion of hero artists and single-authored, linear narratives. I embrace complexity, incoherence, entanglement, multiplicity and the possibility for radical change. At this time in our history, it is a political act to overcome man-made or linguistic barriers, and to embrace and value intellectualism as well as ‘feeling’ – and to aim for the highest common denominator: as such my work actively crosses disciplines and unashamedly asks much of viewers, with references to science, art history, and popular culture – in particular, Hollywood – pointing out the hypocrisy and double standards that Western society has upheld for centuries.
