Artist Statement:
Artist Statement:
My ICON series of glitched self-portraits works to dismantle the image-makers and fame-generators created by social media modalities. The nature of an icon resides in some form that is played to consciousness. There are questions there. What the building of this phenomenon is--a rendering. My work in this series dives into false propositions and re-examines, like in some of my other glitch-work, the constructive placements and their destruction. Working with phone apps, my glitches tend to be an erotic experience with digital essences. The movement of my flesh on the screen and the anticipation of what will come of it.
There is eroticism in all my work--but ICON maintains the erotic interface between reader and creator--even after the seeming destruction. A liveliness, even if in the shadows, persists. For me, glitching is dismantling and creating. How those exist together is the mystery, the art moment.
