"i'm #2" intervention piece for Superfan (Artengine, Ottawa, ON) 2008
STATEMENT
Whether the work is staged indoors or outdoors, the size and style of the work brings to play the authority of advertising conventions. Specifically, the use of popular and public visual language to represent personal anxieties pertaining to social, professional and personal conformity. The work uses a grand scale encouraging (or manipulating), the viewer to consider the impact these things have on their own lives.
