Recent Work

Here is my most recent work. I'm planning on working more with this idea, and hopefully will involve the idea in my drawings too. I'm going to attempt a lazer transfer with acetone and do a pastel self portrait on top of that. And I'm wondering if I should use less saturated photos for my next pieces, or maybe even completely black and white.

The idea behind these pieces is to suggest a divide between an individual and the world that person lives in. People can become disconnected from everything else and they become detached and alienated. Yet somehow, they are more alive and expressive than the rest of the world. I'm working on an artist statement for this body of work, but I'm trying to figure out how exactly I want to approach it.
