My work is the conscious runoff of my obsession to reduce nuanced and significant personal and interpersonal emotions, events, places, and time periods to single images or compositions. As I age and mature, I use art to digest and interpret my experiences and the encounters that spur them on. These pieces often obscure an exact identity in the subjects present, and offer an entry point for onlookers to project their own identity, memory, or experience in each piece, while still being a personal expression informed wholly by my experiences. In many ways these works are self-study, and document my need to experience things externally to understand them.
I'm currently enrolled at University of North Carolina at Asheville, studying in the BA program in transit to achieving a BFA with hopes of becoming a studio artist. www.instagram.com/geddimonroevisualartist |
