I get accused of creating this work because of the hell hole that was 2020, but in reality, my interests in the use of taboo or uncivilized text merely aligns well with a sentiment about living in the time of the pandemic. I've been wondering why text has power, and what happens with that power is places inside of a simple frame, taken far out of any context, other than that of an art subject. This work has been inspired by artists such as Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer, however,I'm looking for a much more humorous approach as well as the non-contextualization of the text, to anything except itself. I remember as a 9 year old, being dared into writing "fuck" on the wall of our garage, by older kids in the neighborhood, and you would be so right if you were sure my parent was outraged. This was the 1960's and the hippy free-love and liberation was not present in my uptight white middle-class neighborhood. I spent hours, first trying to wash it off-I had used shoe polish to make the text. And then, painted over it. My mother never would have agreed to but the paint had I now already worked for hours trying to clean it. Was this my earliest artistic interest? Does this explain my affinity to street art, graffiti, and forbidden subject matter?
