ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“When Red Flag Poles Pierce my Flesh” intends to meditate upon the suffering one’ self-preservation instincts are capable of producing when overblown. Instinctive alarms are meant to serve us but we can all too easily offer ourselves into submission to them. Some alarms may not even be perceived as such and instead be taken in as unexplained states of anxiety or depression. Can one possibly learn to not identify with alarms while still making full use of them? Can I still recognize my own, genuine makeup in the mirror? Or rather, has my body become a personification of alarms that rob me of identity? This artwork is a mixed media piece, assembled from painted art boards depicting variations of a human face, combined in a single image by layering multiple photographic exposures and additional painting. The subject matter of the piece is addressed by a text layered on top of the portrait.

My inspiration comes from observing how contemporary society is in an accelerating process of moving from real life to symbolic representations of life. I make use of mixed elements of communication media as art materials, even as those become increasingly immaterial. In this new reality I do not see many practical distinctions between word, sound, color, and shape. All are equally sanctioned weapons on the contemporary battleground of meaning. I make art out of the elements we now make life with, which is why in my work you may see the news, the ads, the symbols. You may see verses rushing through crowded spaces. You may hear the city as an open opera of homeless words and notice wordless faces. From physical to digital and back. I investigate and report. The vagueness of it all, depicted as faithfully as I can.
