"Breakfast With Dad 2" Fine Art Print

The Discovery: As a Fine Arts professional specializing in new media, I treat the digital process as an exploration of a new frontier. My work creates a dialogue with Glitch Art, yet remains grounded in the physical act of capture. I do not use software to create these effects; instead, I seek out the "surprises" inherent in the medium. The Vision: I use composition, layering, colour and multiple imagery to trigger visceral emotional responses. This collection specifically navigates the "feminine condition"—a space that can be both incredibly beautiful and devastatingly chaotic. The Argument: My inspiration stems from a critique of early and modern media and the "pornification" of the female self. I am interested in the psychological disconnect of women who claim empowerment through imagery that mirrors their own exploitation. This work serves as a visual inquiry into why "strength" is so often sold to women as a requirement of being sexualized and feminized. It’s a world gone crazy … keeps a woman in chains - Tears for Fears “Sex is our deepest form of consciousness. It is utterly non-ideal, non-mental. It is pure blood-consciousness.... It is the consciousness of the night, when the soul is almost asleep.” — D. H Lawrence The following are links to videos that exemplifies the meaning - these are not direct links, so please copy and paste URL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzkK3ZtI9SU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzm4PZowN-k
