I love to create works which attack the viewers sensibilities and senses, however as a newly emerging artist I feel a pull toward producing something which is more saleable. Everyone has to eat after all and I spend more money on meat to create unsaleable art than i do on my weekly shop!! oh the tension. luckily this is the very subject matter that my work will deal with. My responsibility as an artist is to create and produce provoking work, as a mother it is to provide. I am so inspired by the Dieter Roth images I came accross and his use of food in his work and the results of its deteriation is aesthetically,conceptually and morally engaging, but while he could aford to put two fingers up to the art market I’m not sure it’s the way my still germinating career should go? we’ll see how it goes.
