Artist Statement

This blog is my exploration and response to the concept of validity within different aspects of life. Social, philosophical, physical, and personal validation is what many strive for, and is a key part of self maintenance. My intent is to push images, videos, etc. unto you (as the viewer of my blog) and to prove the validity of seemingly mundane and obvious aspects (objects, ideas, people, places, etc.) of everyday life.

Eggs

Eggs:
They are arguably the most significant cells in the world. They bring forth life, and are often eaten. In this image, the eggs laid in perfect rows come from a woodland moth and are hidden on the underside of a lilac tree leaf. It seems that planning and organisation are traits not limited to only humans. The only reason I noticed these eggs was because I was laying on ground and looked up and saw them. Try looking at things from a different perspective. You may notice things that you would never have seen. If I hadn't turned over that leaf, those eggs still would have been there, but I wouldn't have been provided with the feeling of connectedness I have with organisms I would have previously considered insignificant.

Sobeys:
"obeys: Ready to serve." <---a bit too forward if you ask me. Think about big companies who use brunt and sneaky advertising like this.....

Boys Beware

A 1950's propaganda video, intended for public school and high school children as an educational film about homosexuality. In this film, however, the creators have confused a homosexual with a pedophile.


Girls Beware

This is also a 1950's propaganda film regarding careless girls being tricked, captured and assaulted or killed. This is the twin of Boys Beware and I wanted to show the contrast between two films from the same time period which, thought to be completely valid then, are now either too vague or completely irrelevant in the modern day.

Futurama

GM's look at the future. Some of the future inventions seem quite ridiculous, but when this was made, people believed it was what the future held.

Futurama Pt. 2

Continuation of GM's futuristic Expo.

Lady With Cake

Shows how the slightest thing causes immense reactions. The minor overpowers the major.
