Natural Selection
Painting
In the current commotion of global pandemic and rising political tensions, the sustainability of the environment is being overlooked. Consequently, through my body of work I pose questions regarding the impact of waste. ‘Natural selection’ refers to the evolutionary process where species adapt to their surroundings. In my work the representation of ensnared animals in their respective environments questions whether they have been changed through an artificial or a natural process. I have juxtaposed realism and surrealism, through seamless environments that include surreal garbage-bagged bodies, with the intent of providing a platform for audiences to conceive, interpret and understand.
