Artist Statement
My main inspiration for this piece was Through the Looking-Glass. I choose the chess board background to play on the structure of Through the Looking-Glass, to represent the path of life and fate’s similarity to a game of chess. I used red and white squares as a note towards the classic colors of Alice in Wonderland. In red spaces I used news articles from both 2022 and 1871 to highlight the social issues demonstrated in both Alice and Wonderland as well as Through the Looking Glass, like woman’s rights and class-inequality. However, these are the subliminal villains represented in both stores- as well as our reality; in front is the projected villain, the Jabberwocky (Often the real villains facing us are hidden by projected ones). I used lots of depth within my piece my represent the depth within the two stories. To finish the piece, I added some Carrollian elements of whimsy.
