I want my art to make a statement. One of the ideas I had was after I saw the documentary "Invisible Children." It is about children in Uganda that have to walk 5 miles or more to find a safe place to spend the night for fear of being forced into the rebel army and becoming child soldiers. I wanted to take a teddy bear and bead a mask of camo across the face and arms and then bead something special for the heart. They're innocent children on the inside, but they've had to grow up fast to face their environment. Modernists used art and literature to make a statement about disillusionment after the Great War, and the Beats did the same to make statements about Civil Rights. I hope my art can make a difference the way their's did.Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381914082660985472noreply@blogger.com
