This is image is part of a series called Recycled. I used a flat bed scanner to make images of objects and materials we regularly dispose of. Artist Statement Pollution, global warming, excess and abuse are all topics that we deal with daily. I am very concerned with these issues at moments and yet, as the rest of my culture, I tend to look away or excuse myself from the responsibility of dealing with them. In this project I seek to materialize this process of ignorance or neglect. / Often times we see these detrimental issues as things to make news and conversation over, not things that we need to invest in or make changes to. We find ways to make money from the negative actions we have already committed rather than making effective, global changes. / In a way, I carry out this same process in my images. I turn something used into something new and beautiful. I compose trash into an image that we want to look at and admire rather than feel embarrassed or ashamed of. / My images are meant to be pleasing to the eye. They are new visions of everyday objects. However, they ARE trash. This creates tension. Something that is supposed to be thrown away and hidden so no one has to look at it is displayed in a positive light and very large so that you want to admire it. It is this confusion and contrast that I want my viewers to experience.

Abstract made with chocolate wrappers.

These, were folded when I was in grade 5 (age 10) That year our teacher read “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” to our class. One particular moment in the story, Sadako’s mother visits Sadako at the hospital and gives her a piece of paper which her sister saved for her. Sadako takes the paper and says “Mmmm, smells like candy. I hope God likes chocolate”. Everyone laughed including Sadako. Around that time I went through an origami craze and saved bits of paper and candy wrappers to do origami out of them. Mmmm… kitkat and hershy’s cookies ‘n creme… (I don’t eat this stuff as much now :P) For those who don’t know the story of the thousand paper cranes, there is a legend that says if you fold 1000 peace cranes, your wish will come true. Sadako Sasaki suffered from leukemia, and folded cranes while she was in the hospital in how of getting better. More sample origami:

3pm, Sunday 13 April 2008…. the London Marathon…. Aftermath… / Just love the banana skins on the top of the bin, and the broken umbrella. This is the bit of the marathon that the runners and spectators don’t see, but just a big a part of it as the actual race. Thank you for looking

Chocolate lollies

Not sure if this painting is suitable for the Group. I was given a huge box of Bon Bon’s and lollies, and they inspired me to paint them and their wrappers, though I guiltily admit I kept helping myself as I painted. Thank heavens the work is abstract ( 30 cm x 70 cm on stretched canvas with acrylics ), as if it was truly representational I would have had to keep rearranging the composition. As it is it has to contain a lot of empty wrappers, as the contents were thoroughly enjoyed. The only real drawback is that each sweet is about 50 calories, so to hell with my figure. Of course a meat pie contains 1000 calories, and I eat those as well, but I didn’t want to do an Andy Warhol and paint 50 meat pies, though it would be a fascinating challenge.

Who doesn’t love sweety giving furry creatures? Especially when the sweets also contain bees! Texture credits: http://exchanged-stock.deviantart.com / http://gild-a-stock.deviantart.com / http://webgoddess.deviantart.com

Without a proper bookmark, I had to improvise, while reading Anthony Swoofford’s Jarhead. “Pray like a motherfucker”. Can’t get that order he got, out of my head (not sure I want to, either ;). Cross-processed.
