Idolatry
Using the traditional and ubiquitious form of the rice paper lantern, an object that warmly sheds light upon one’s inner self within their private space, these complicated and imperfect lanterns come together to form how I see myself sans the judgement of onlookers. To echo the change in my personal perception I chose to work with a form that had the possibility to utilize the techniques I have built up over the years while still pushing myself to take on a new delivery. Each lantern uses different painting, printing, or assemblage techniques to echo varied facets of myself that I wish to examine and display, going from a more socially enforced and informed view of self to looking at more amorphous and personal definitions of self.
