Artist Statement for Jackie Hernandez
|
|
|
Most of my work reflects personal and social themes and employs symbolism to make a point. The notions of despair and societal taboo are arteries that run throughout, although an opening for hope also appears.
I have developed a method for dissecting and reassembling photographs into montages. Although tedious, the result is a more raw and unaltered piece. Each image I select has its own strong and unique meaning. When several of these stand-alone images are worked together into a single piece, they become part of a more complex and interrelated message.
Almost all my photomontages appear in my own dreams and visions, which are frightening to most people. For example, the theme of suicide or losing oneself is evident in one of my pieces called “Undone”. I welcome these nightmares and translate them into my work. It can be said it is all in my head.
