My creative process includes thinking of a topic, gathering material and information, brainstorming, then developing my idea. I generate ideas by being aware of the world around me. Reading the news not only allows me to become aware but I then shape an opinion on what’s going on in the world and enjoy making work from my perspective. I also enjoy browsing sites like Instagram and Pinterest to try and catch inspiration from other artists work.
Public art is work that has been created with the intention of being staged in the public domain. I have not yet made any work that’s been outdoors, but I have made work that has been put on display in a public area. I would like to create more work that will reach a larger audience by being in public. The intent I have when creating work is for any type of person to see it and question it. I try to make work that will make people think or start a controversial conversation. Social media such allows me to display my work publicly. Social media allows my work to get more exposure and a different audience than just the people who walk through the Bush Art Center.
