Artist Statement
This project morphed many times. Multiple videos were taken, multiple ideas were scrapped, much frustration was to be had... However, the element that was stagnant was that I knew what I wanted the gif to say. I just struggled with deciding how to say it.
My project is about my personal definition of an artist. An artist is someone who shows us something we've never seen before, or shows us something we have seen before in a way we've never seen it. They see the world as it is, but also as it is not. They see it for more. And they make art to try and show the viewer that same amazing, beautiful world.
My gif tries to capture that idea through the use of color. At only a small section in the middle of the gif is the color true to reality. Through the rest of the piece the color is manipulated, capturing the reality of how an artist sees the world as they're making art.
