ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Pulling from psychology, I am attempting to create an experience akin to a Rorschach inkblot test. The viewer is pushed into a reflective dialogue that forces self-awareness, a sort of Jungian confrontation with their "shadow." The interaction between the figures serves as a symbol for the struggle we all experience with not only others but within ourselves. To transfer this idea to a physical form, I begin drawing on Mylar with charcoal and ink. Then, using a light sensitive process of printmaking, I exposed the plate directly from the drawing. Once the solar plate was made, I used “à la poupée” inking technique to print it onto rice paper and then was colored by hand.

"My work seeks to instill and dissect the connotations and emotions people associate with the human form. I focus on innate concepts held by human curiosity such as duality in nature, sexuality, violence, and primordial reactions through a fragmentation of the figure. I’m interested in pushing the viewer into an awareness of the body and our ever-changing relationship with it by challenging them to process and internalize these ideas, confronting the complexities of their own human condition.” A.J.
