Within the Details (Artist Statement for Dining Parlor)
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Beckoning in the days of detail and subdue details I wanting to mash the current world of “in your face” and jarring statements with the past of the unseen details that the everyday person will take for granted. I wanted to challenge the viewer to think beyond then just the scene I created in this room. I wanted to grab the audiences attention and make them question ” why is that placed there?”
The grand scene of everything is that I wanted to convey a story of murder through details.Also you will see in the next rooms(Visually) I wanted to create a visual representation of image development ,something similar that could happen in your imagination when you are reading a novel. I wanted to convey the feeling of discomfort in a beautiful setting. I wanted the viewer to feel a confusion of what they should think of this. Should they have a positive connotation of it since it is so beautiful but should they be disturbed to current situation of the scene or even more disturbed by the social practices of the Victorian era. How can you as a viewer put together this puzzle? How will they view this? I’m much more interested how the viewer can get past the visual shocker of the over saturation of details and how all these pieces are put together.
