The “Head-Candy” Series Collection - Pop / Neo-Dada Art Inspired by Robert Rauschenberg
With the information age of media, internet and print, all of us are constantly bombarded by visual information to the brink of overload and we are not consciously aware of it.
The concept behind the “Head Candy” series is to show sensory overload of all the visual data we take in daily.
Our subconscious mind filters the visual data and then archives some and deletes others. Sometimes the images cannot be completely erased and they leave a ghosted, residual image in our minds where we have to sit down, relax and scrub our minds of the data in order to remove or understand it.
“Head Candy” was chosen as a term to convey the intense, concentrated, sugary sweet servings (or "sight bytes") of information we receive daily from media advertising, the internet, and television. Our minds digest these images, and then they dissolve, becoming interconnected with our own thoughts and ideas.
The medium used to create this series is pigment transfer, graphite and acrylic on watercolor paper.
