Artist Statement
My work aims to break down the hierarchy between the museum space, artist, and viewer in order to establish a communal sense of creativity. Art should be for and by the people: it is the shared experience of the artist’s creative process combined with the wisdom of the viewers. In order to facilitate a community artwork, I created an initial print and distributed them to parts of my own community to convey their importance in my artwork.
Now I am asking you, the viewer, to participate in this experience by making your own marks on my prints and hanging them up on the wall to visually break the hierarchy between artist and viewer.
