ARTIST STATEMENT
Orbit is both an awareness piece as well imagery of connection to one's inner world. The title indicates the emotional state, journey and the outcome of generational trauma. The pose can be interpreted as looking into the globe of light. If you look too deep, you could get taken into the orbit of the past and continue a cycle of despair or you could not connect and be disconnected and lost in orbit.
ARTWORK PROCESS
I brainstorm issues or concepts using words as a starting point and then Google images, effects and artwork that may have techniques or colour palettes I may explore. I like to look at real life imagery for proportions and practice poses that communicate a feeling. The principles of design and elements of art are consciously applied.
