Artist’s Statement - PhotoGraphic Artistry by Heather J. Kirk
In our culture full of superficial images and value, people long for authenticity. My art is personal and real. Vulnerable revelations beg to be understood in both their uniqueness and universality. The presentation style provides accessibility in the current cultural context: computer generated. At the same time, I force the reader / viewer to work at entering the piece intellectually and physically. Many pieces graphically attract from a distance, but those who wish to know more must draw in close to a private and intimate realm in a very public space. Computer graphics not only provide for easy mechanical reproduction of art, but dabbles in the arena of mechanical reproduction of person, specifically the artist: personhood as commodity, not unlike the classifieds. Particularly in one style of art she creates called “Poetography,” the meshing of poetry and story with images.
