The concept
behind this series is to show sensory overload of all the visual data we take
in daily.
With the
information age of media, internet and print, all of us are constantly and
incessantly constantly consuming visual information to the brink of overload
and we are not consciously aware of it.
Our
subconscious mind filters the visual data and then archives some and deletes
others. Sometimes the images cannot be completely erased and they leave a
ghosted, residual image in our minds where we have to sit down, relax and scrub
our minds of the data or understand it.
“Head Candy”
was chosen as a term to convey the intense, concentrated, sugary sweet servings
of information we receive daily from media advertizing, the Internet, and the
news networks. Our minds digest these images, and then they dissolve, becoming
interconnected with our own thoughts and ideas.
The medium used
to create this series is solvent transfer, graphite and acrylic on watercolor
paper.
