Social Utterances
In the series “Social Utterances” I photograph the mundane, the everyday, and through printmaking and collage, I re-interpret those images by juxtaposing them with bits of visual culture taken from the internet. The result hints at disruptions in the social norm, especially bringing attention to gendered exchanges.
I am working under the assumption that our relationships are plagued by sexual identities and constructs that begin to undermine our basic need for intimacy and love. When our relationships are defined by our sexual practices, we begin to fear our feelings and emotions. Overall, it is my hope that as I begin to expose the monster in the mundane, I can uncover the secrets that impede and alienate us from ourselves and each other.
