I worked on this piece to play with the soft qualities associated with the female figure in contrast with the dangerous, sharp pieces of the metal used. Each piece of metal was individually cut then they were welded together. I finished this piece by lighting it on fire to give it the burnt dark color. The stereotype of woman is to be dainty, but this is not always true. This piece is the attempt to show the female figure in a different way.

I use an age old tradition of oil painting in an attempt to create a marriage between the classic and the ideas of what contemporary art should be. I suggest that contemporary ideas can have the same integrity and can exist in the same realm as the classic. Highly influenced by Early Byzantine Art, as well as Albrect Durer's Self-Portrait from the 16th century, I reference religious iconography such as depictions of Christ. I juxtapose the contemporary icon of Barrack Obama in a position of both presidential and spiritual power. However the icon is surrounded by weapons to perhaps suggest the connections between religion power and conflict.

Prófugos: A scope on superficiality

Prófugos

14" x 16" x 3'

Two contrasting mindsets in one body. This is the story of the "man on the run."

Ever changing, with plenty of ways to view a person, how can we make a solid

decision of their character? A scope on superficiality.

The premature idea of movement and grace is what has been the backbone of this piece since it's

conception. How graceful can the raw elements Earth gives us be? Can such solid materials, organic

and not, capture the movement usually only seen in the liquid? This work is my response to those

questions.
