ART

so im combing my word documents and will be posting some writings. in the mean time here are some things i feel about art. this is not my best work and isnt exactly cohesive. all artwork is mine.

My work is, ultimately, about the polarities in my life. I want you to know how it feels to be me, to be constantly on the verge of mania, insanity only one missed pill away. I want you to know what it is like to have two very powerful, opposing forces constantly barraging your senses. It may seem trite or childish, but the line between good and evil, or rather good and the absence of good, is where I find myself on most days. I make art about what I believe is good and what I believe is harmful in our world. I explore the relationships between these things and us. In any situation I ask: What is really happening? Who’s doing what, to or for whom, and why? What are the mechanisms of these actions? What are the effects? Are they even noticed? And finally, is it good?

One half of my art tells a story about systems of control: how our lives are analytically plugged into a very planned, very directed Orwellian society. I confront the viewer with what is happening behind the star-spangled curtain. The other half of my work tells a story about a life in perfect rhythm. I show the viewer that ascension beyond this physical plane is a collaborative achievement, not an individual success. In my life, these two forces of “good” and “evil” are everywhere in evidence: nearly everything falls into one category or the next. I am constantly, relentlessly, incessantly assessing and aware of these two forces as they consume my art, my mind, and occasionally my life. My art is, no doubt, an outlet, but it is my hope that it may also serve as a guide in a time of cluttered, crooked paths.

It is my belief that as Bipolar woman I lead an exceptionally beautiful, yet extraordinarily complex existence. I sometimes feel as if my life itself is an ever-unfolding work of art. I am inspired by everything, and I am interested in every field of study. My work draws from the fields of metaphysics, noetics, conspiracy theory, gender relations, political science, economics, international relations, religion, spirituality, anthropology, popular culture, psychology, sociology, physics, astrology and the occult. The connections between these fields make up the body of my work. If anything, with my art I hope to provide a different view of the world: of the subversive systems of control in our society and the ways in which they are harmful. But I also hope to show the freedom we can attain from this when we use more than our minds or our bodies to decide how to live our lives.
