What inspires the artist?

“The monster I address in my work is the human conceit that we as humans are more important individually and as a group, than the overall health of our planet… As with Victor and the Creature, every person contains both good and bad, it is up to us to rise above our egos and repair the damage we have done to our one and only planet.”

“My work addresses the history of race and privilege and examines how privilege transcends time, and how freedom is most often not achieved until after death. This monster is within each of us… If we refuse to center our existence around others, we can never grow enough empathy to engage proactively with the historical narratives that need to be told.”

“How do you know you can sing if you have never spoken? I believe that is where the chasm lies. In my work, the ‘monster’ is the plastics present in my home and studio. I use recipes from the Renaissance to create my art with the goal of eliminating microplastics, yet it is a constant jungle to navigate.”

“The Creature becomes a monster due to the neglect and often active sabotage of his creator… If we treat our creations like monsters, they become them. I applied this to our modern monster, the new and powerful technology of artificial intelligence (AI). We feed AI narratives of technology rising up against humans, and then are shocked when it inevitably steps into the very role we have built for it.”

“Reflecting on everything I have read and researched as part of this project, I have reached the conclusion that monsters are just reflections of the parts of ourselves we don’t want to acknowledge. Things like grief, regret, death, and fear become monstrous when we refuse to face them head on. Instead, we blame them on fate when in reality it is simply a reflection of the issues we have yet to correct in our own lives.”

“Scientists are on a constant quest for light and knowledge. However, when science and technology advance recklessly, without thought of the societal consequences, humanity can be led into darkness. My work addresses the monster of unrestrained science. There’s a fine line between achieving technological breakthroughs and playing god.”

“In the natural world, there is an innate cycle of rebirth and destruction, but when human aspirations force premature destruction on the earth, that cycle is disrupted. In this case, we forget we are a part of the earth and its destruction is also our own. In that way the real ‘monster’ is human hubris against nature.”

"It is up to individuals and society as a whole to establish ethical standards and guidelines for the creation and use of technology, art, and other forms of human expression."

“My work often depicts aerial imagery of Earth’s surface and the rapidly changing landscape along our sea and shoreline due to human impact. Having witnessed those changes, I believe that the destructive impact we have had on our planet is the sole responsibility of the human race.”

“In my work, the ‘monster’ is the ideology that humans are distinct from nature. I don’t think we are separate from our environments, if we remember that we can have a profound impact on our ability to achieve harmony both internally and externally, individually and environmentally.”

“Victor puts himself into his creation the same way an Artist puts themself into their work, but has delusional expectations and therefore shuns the Creature when it reflects aspects of himself he hates.”

“Both Victor and the Creature inhabit dual positions of predator and prey and victim and perpetrator… As a community we can’t turn a blind eye and shirk our responsibility to the less privileged, but often that’s what we do. We fear the monster in them, and they fear the monster in us.”
