Hi there! I’m AnnaBelle and this is my artist statement where I will try to quantify and then relate to you my artistic process and what I’ve been making throughout this year. People have told me that my writing voice sounds rather snobbish but that shouldn’t be a problem considering the fact that I happen to be capstoning in 3D art not writing.
I spend most of my spare time badly dancing while singing in my best impersonation of a mountain goat. I like to think that this translates into my artwork not by me being spazmatic, but by me being impulsive. This allows me to keep my original ideas fairly unchanged by the opinions of others.
I have a hard time with whimsicality so most of my pieces are based off of what I see outside when I go hiking and other such activities. I like to see more simple and refined forms in other people's work. This leads me to be drawn to stone busts and china bowls. However, being the amature I am, I tend to end up with something messier. Maybe my “go-for-it” attitude seems brash and unrefined to some but I force myself to go with the flow. Otherwise I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist and never get anything done.
I like to listen to music as I work but I have to be cautious because the kind of music I choose impacts what I make and how I work more than any other factor. In many ways this is good but it also means that if I change my music partway through a piece it can take a strange turn. I don’t think this is uncommon among artists of most mediums. In fact many people who post their writing online will include the song they listened to to help suggest a theme. Theming is cool like that, isn’t it?
My theme is words on art. This gives me a lot of freedom because I can pretty much make anything as long as I put words on it. I happen to like words. They can express whatever you want and help to give a deeper meaning, or some sort of significance to your piece. I dislike modern poetry and abstain from putting song lyrics onto my work but otherwise anything is fair game in my world. Who knows, maybe I’ve quoted you?
