ARTWORK STATEMENT:
Together we are TANGLED TOGETHER. Through this last year of isolation and loneliness we as a culture have had to distance ourselves out of necessity and safety, it has proven to be a difficult and trying process. In this space finding oneself or identifying purpose has been truly impossible. TANGLED TOGETHER is a work comprised of multiple pieces that together make up a whole, much like us. We exist as individuals but together as a people in this trying time, we can overcome this time together.
