Artist statement

soo.... here is my draft of my artist statement... feedback?


This body of work that I have been working on for the past year didn’t originate inside the relm of video, but I feel like that is where it has evolved to. I have an ongoing interest in creating portraits of people eating. Why eating? Because it has so many implications of tradition and family. I have taken it out of this context and slowly moved towards portraits of people eating with little to no context at all. It seems natural that my desire to study the human form while eating would translate well into video. The viewer now has the opportunity to see the subjects interacting in a way that is not possible through a still image.
