Artist Statement for Monica Ellis
|
|
|
My current work both explores and exploits the complex division I feel exists within
myself through two distinct, but related bodies of work. One body of work attempts
to resolve the conflict between my individual identity and cultural identity, whereas
the other relishes in their struggle to coexist.
The pieces executed in yarn and string are meditative works that deal with the
sublime. They attempt to resolve my fascination and obsession with the romantic
appeal of M theory (a parent of string theory that maintains everything is connected)
with the disjointed nature of my identity and relationships.
The more representational pieces in my second body of work comment on and mostly
satirize my Catholic upbringing and Hispanic identity. In response to who I consider
myself to be, independent from the religious institution and the cultural classification,
this work doe not attempt to reconcile anything but exists more as light-hearted,
ironic commentary.
