The objects in our lives that we worship can be represented through idols. Through the outlet of art, I have explored things in my own life that I idolize. During the past year I have been able to analyze objects, people, and places that I worship by turning them into idols. Self-examination has opened my eyes to the meaning of worship, how prevalent it is, and how alluring or disgusting it can be when looked at from an artful viewpoint.
My initial pieces were created during times of confusion, frustration, and lack of clarity, which can be seen in pieces 1,2,and 3. The beginning of the first three pieces were made as experimentation because I had no idea how to pull off my idea. My biggest weakness throughout these pieces was waiting too long to find what made my pieces stand out. The last nine pieces develop the texture and enhancement of patterns depicting worship. The composition of materials in the last nine pieces reveals a transition-stage out of confusion into clarity. The bright colors and shiny objects incorporated in the pieces reflect examples of idols. The presence of the gold figures shows that idols are evident in my life. Expressing to viewers how certain worship through idolized figures is a key goal of my art.
