Icon Glamour Artist Statement
The word ‘Glamour’ has an inherent reference to romanticism – an alluring, enchanting sense of attraction. Contemporary popular culture and urban culture, for me, allude to collective utopias that attract. Iconic visual material from these sources is reinterpreted in a creative remix through unique visual sampling. The iconic is further accented by beams of color that look like digital glitches. This ‘Glitch Aesthetics’ creates a surreal alchemy of the post-digital age, also transcending the figuration into the arena of modernist abstraction. The drip as a visual metaphor operates on many layers. The concept of ‘Drip’ in contemporary popular urban language is associated with attractiveness or swag. The ‘Drip’ can also reference a sense of ‘Time’ and ‘Continuum’ or a continuity of something from the past. It may reference a charm or an appeal that is still enlivened, evergreen, or everlasting, thus defying ‘Time’ itself.
