The genesis of images and objects, along with their function of representation, is the focus of my art making. I am approaching this by wondering if myth – that has been traditionally assigned to and associated with the visual arts – is still a feasible possibility in contemporary culture and how an incorporation of this ancient idea might be achieved.
