Stephen Spiller

My art focuses on how individuals experience their environment - specifically, the impact of social, cultural, and political issues on development of one's identity as identity informs the struggle to live a satisfying life. My themes involve the hunger and vulnerability involved in searching for one's own pleasures regardless of externally imposed criteria, such as money or other venerated symbols of happiness. I exhibit these themes in various ways, exploring ideas about how people, consciously and unconsciously, think, talk and act.
