Artist Statement for Steven White
|
|
|
Through printmaking and photography, I investigate new potentials and meanings inherent within found objects that I encounter. The found item becomes a springboard to launch the creative process. Notes, diagrams, drawings and related findings are all part of this visual discussion. The main objective in my work is not to present a resolved answer, but to ask questions around issues of obsolescence and consumerism and to challenge common conceptions of beauty.
Decomposition is a powerful transformative process that tends to get overlooked in today's way of being. Our society is constantly bombarding us with messages that youthful beauty and newness are not only desirable, but are the standards by which we should structure our lives. I am contrasting this in my work by showing that beauty can lie within the things we throw away or consider banal. I see myself in the role of the turkey vulture in my attraction to the "roadkill" of our culture's waste.
