Mariel Herring '11:41 PM'
11:41 pm, oil on linen, 12 by 12 in., 2015.
Artist Statement
My work is an exploration of latent memory, a reckoning with the trauma of legitimacy, an examination of where beauty and suffering collide, humor wrung out from depression, the honest efforts of a limited, struggling human being. I simultaneously reclaim my autonomy while tossing my hands up at the omnipotent power of the universe. I want to be real and I want you to love me. An artist seeking connection at the end of the world.
