ARTIST STATEMENT
I am Primary Child, a muralist, graphic designer, and multidisciplinary artist influenced by florals, experiential art, and loose mark-making techniques. My body of work includes murals, acrylic paintings, digital illustrations, and 3D installations. In my small-scale work I depict combinations of flowers and people, using florals as crowns, bouquets, or other props to emphasize the subject. From my first collection of work - which focused on the relationship between the hands and face and how they interact to show emotion - I have been drawn towards this subject matter and continue to use these themes in my work. My murals are more graphic in nature and use my background in graphic design as a foundation for how they’re created. Using a variety of techniques, I create custom wall-sized pieces for clients, designed toward their specific needs. As a fine artist, I truly enjoy finding opportunities to play with my work. In the last two years, I started creating tissue paper installations, which have taken on new forms with each iteration, working from generalized forms to specifically detailed, hand-cut pieces, from 5 inch to 5 foot wide florals. I find myself so passionate about this work as it fully allows me to explore, experiment, try and fail, and push my own limits of what I ever thought was possible for myself. Many of us want to find more interest, stimulation, and engagement in our daily lives, and with these 3D installations, I’m proud to bring an enticing and original experience to my audience. |
