Artist Statement
This is from a series in which I photographed cosmetics and foodstuffs where they are shelved inside Walmart. I then physically and chemically treat the prints with vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and the color additives: Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, and Blue No. 1. Each pieces- name as well as the title, For Your Face, come from the products shown.
I’m exploring the contradiction between beauty and repugnance, blurring the otherwise stacked and tidy graphics creating a beautiful mess. Desire can be both manufactured and commodified. The language of advertising distinguishes a product and can define an image, but is not representative of the substance within it.
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.
