Like Me

Like Me is a series of spray-painted portraits on wooden assemblages made from construction materials that celebrate brilliant artists who, like me, practice their craft in Edmonton. The reference images for the portraits were pulled from each artist's social media feed, and the materials are purposely scrappy as if they were pulled off the street. In this work, I am interested in the way artists in particular, are pushed to construct a public persona by sharing our craft, our process, our stories, and our lives online, and how this evolved and was amplified during the pandemic. Through posting images of ourselves and our work, we implicitly ask to be seen, for our voice to be heard, and for the thoughts and ideas that define us to be acknowledged and reflected.
