Artist Statement
Tag was created from a memory of mine as a child where I had failed to play tag with my shadow and instead tried to play with a bee. The black traveling up the arm represents the moment of impact where and when I was stung. The figure is created from layers of abstracted bee wing shape cutouts, both organic and geometric. Hidden within are also wings made of tracing paper and a gel medium and gesso mix, this gives the close up viewer something new to look at. The piece works both close up and at a distance. Tag was an installation piece with strong directional lighting to create shadows that represented my past attempt to play with my own as Peter Pan had.
