ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Every person’s body tells a unique story based on experiences, interests, and struggles. My goal with this piece is to use text to convey stories through figural representation. The text comes from stream-of-consciousness and asemic writing practices. I use text to build form, however, there are areas in which the text is illegible; this is important to me because the consciousness is often cluttered and our stories are not always known. I use reds and pinks to emphasize the warmth of the skin-tone, which, combined with the storytelling elements, illustrate my vision for the depiction of human experiences.
