Expiration Date:
Moulding Paste and Oil on Canvas

ARTIST STATEMENT

Within “Expiration Date:”, I have incorporated the idea of the struggles of today's youths' emotional state, and our dying Earth. The contemporary context, represented as our dying environment caused by the effects of mankind and modern technology, is represented in the flow of the mountain, stream and moon, positioned to the abstract female form, our Mother Earth. Within modern witchcraft, the colours purple and green are used to represent healing, self preservation and searching, but the angle and texture of the work distorts the meanings of the colours to the trauma and effect of today's society on our mental health.
