Artist's Statement

The objective of this piece was to transform a particular space and make it visually interesting. The space I chose was the park area behind Davis Hall, a large, open area with park benches. This area was ideal because of the quiet atmosphere surrounding it. The images of the nude mannequins bearing masks in this area are intended to be visually shocking; thus, the environment and images are largely contrasting, creating a total transformation of the park area into something visually and cognitively stimulating. The green background text on the poster is a poem, included to encourage further analyzation from the viewer. The bold, black text is less coy, directly qestioning the person reading it. This poster is intended to target each individual viewing it, focusing on our tendency as humans to hide from what we really are, from others and overall, ourselves.
