Here is the second draft of my overarching artist statement - still needs work - 

My work and interests lie primarily in design, video and photography. I enjoy exploring many ways to get my desired message across, such as experimenting with typography, stop motion animation, straight forward designs, such as brochure, and web design, and video that can contain more ambiguous content, such as my piece entitled, Within a Dream. Because I use different mediums within my work, my body of work overall contains a good amount of variety.

I have used concepts pulled from how our society sees things, as shown in my piece entitled, Surroundings, as well as in my Vector Self Portrait, which focuses on the masculine and feminine stereotypes that appear within our culture, and how they are largely untrue.

Other concepts I focus on include personal experiences, which can be clearly seen in my cubism piece, Cubist Self, concepts about the inner workings of our minds such as dreams, the unconscious self, and imagination, and human emotions, as shown in my series of traditional black and white photography pieces, entitled All Kinds of Love. When using stop motion animation, I focus on whimsical content, which can be seen in my pieces, Two Little Birds, The Domestic Goddess, and Mischief, a short film about gummy bears coming to life.

The combination of mediums I use, and the concepts I have explored have made me a more versatile artist. I am able to create many different types of interesting visuals, while engaging the viewer to think further into the concepts being presented.
