Not all art is inherently meaningful. Many works seek to spread a message or idea but mine are devoid of any intentional significance. At least conscouisly. They are almost entirely based on working towards a thematic aesthetic of my own with whatever materials I feel like trying or revisiting at the time. As much as I admire others who do have a point of view relevant enough to inspire their work, I would feel weird tacking messages onto work I do purely out of interest in subject or material. To me that’s what my high school portfolio is about, exploring and having fun.
