Artist's Statement
Spectacle Project
For this project I definitely wanted to create an image that you needed to look at for a while to really experience and find all of the information and details. After doing a little research and looking at a lot of different artists, I decided to base my artwork loosely on Islamic art. Islamic art does not picture living things, and the most popular kind of Islamic art, that which resides in Mosques and in religious contexts, is often simply an infinite pattern that is designed to inspire awe in the viewer. Rather than awe for God however, I hope to inspire a general sense of awe using color, texture, repetition and pattern. I will use one shape/character as a "stamp" and repeat this shape in different colors (taken from personal photography) in order to create a colorful, awe-inspiring spectacle.
