Monoprint mounded on painted woodThis artwork symbolizes my attempt to create unification between different ethnicities and how images and/or social iconic designs are adopted and identified with their particular cultural ideology. The viewer will recognize the importance and impact of spirituality and nature in visual communication and examine contemporary imagery. How I approached this concept involves selecting artwork that introduce two or more disciplines into one format, transforming two-dimensional prints into a combination of mediums, reinventing images by recycling past artwork into new identities.
