I realized that I wanted to create art about a year and a half ago. I helped a fellow artist out with his senior showcase project, a video installation in response to the It Gets Better campaign. That was the start of a series of realizations, that all led up to me being at Arizona State University, majoring in Intermedia. I have a very wide focus right now, mainly to learn as much about as many mediums and medias as possible in order to create interactive, socially charged, and potentially shocking art. I especially want to create art that is body positive, sex positive, campaigns against rape culture and victim blaming, and art that portrays a large amount of intersectionality of identities. I wish to continue on to graduate school after my bachelor's to become a better artist and potentially be able to teach. I would like to own my own studio one day, where I create art and where other artists and myself can collaborate together.
One artist that has inspired me and influenced me, although not directly in the field I am looking into, but as a friend and photographer, is Ryan Gajewski with Occam Photography. His website is http://www.occamphotography.com/.
