Artist Statement:
“By facing the ugly world, by
ranging wide enough in afar
and above and below-in nature
or in one’s fellows or in one
self one can find beauty-one
can even create beauty”
Haveloc
Ellis
“Individual Not Ideal”
explores my interest in the
value of the less than perfect
individual whose features do
not meet the American
Contemporary standard ideals
of beauty.
Contrary to the idea of beauty
created through plastic
surgery, these figures express
the natural beauty of real
life experiences. My aim is to
show the depth of the life
experience, lines in the face,
and sagging skin, to honor the
beauty that I see in the faces
of the unique individual.
To gain insight to express the
individual’s life experiences
I look past the physical body
and learn about their life
they have traveled so far. I
then express the individual’s
life experiences in their
faces and body language.
