Artist Statement
This photo is from the series “The Extraordinary Lives of Ordinary Objects”. As our consumerist culture careens forward in overdrive, billions of dollars are spent to convince us to constantly upgrade and replace our possessions. The preciousness of individual objects fades. Even personal photographs have lost their staying power with the pressure to keep our Facebook photos current.
For this series, I attempt to capture a moment in the imagined lives of these objects on their tragic journey from precious personal belonging to discarded object and finally to just another piece of trash on the street.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
