I chose to express my own and others’ experiences and stereotypes associated with being an art student through text and image on existing pieces of art, drawing from Wayne White’s word paintings. Most of my time is spent immersed in art projects and while text based pieces are tedious, they are direct and appealing, especially when supplemented with provoking images. While I had originally intended to use more obscene pornographic images, I decided on more subdued graphics so that the text wasn't overpowered—even so, I made it a point to portray the sarcasm and frustration associated with being an art student dealing with otherwise uncommon assumptions and issues. I used paint marker, acrylics, and cut outs on art prints and mirror.
"But I thought art was subjective..."
"Did I get it right this time I added depth and sensitive line and shit"
"So... Do I get my degree now, or..."
"My parents are not thrilled"
"So, like... What are you gonna do when you graduate... Like... for money.."
