Week 13

Originally, this artists work

starts as a photograph, then

is transformed into a painting.

She deliberately abstracts

the images from their original

form to convey a subjective

meaning, leaving the viewer

unaware of the images

primary purpose, and allowing

for broader interpretation.

Although my own work deviates

from this perspective, this artist

utilizes similar origins that

compliment my own.

This artist choses images

that "explore and experiment

with identities by allowing

the images to take on a

multitude of personas".

His work uses metaphor

to convey the relationships

that exist between the images

and their underlying meaning.

Within my own work, I try

to use a similar style of

relationships to convey the

meaning and connections within my images, that show the purpose and

direction of my own life.

This artist work attempts

towards an "internalized

search for self revelation,

while searching externally

for historical places that

speak to his identity". This

work parallels my own, in that,

it is a similar pursuit of

meaning through images

that define us.
