Let the barrier come down between image and material, pictorial
space and the flatbed picture plane. Touch, play, accept, reject.
Let the photograph, the print, disrespect tradition so that a
new baby can be born from many disciplines—painting, digital
imaging, assemblage, installation, animation, and video. Let
literature, trash, femininity, motherhood, the beauty myth, selfhelp
psychology, the overlooked, and humor be exalted. Seize the
means of production—material and digital, as well as the history
of pictures, particularly painting and photography. Look carefully
at the overlooked, because it is laden with hidden seeds. The
undervalued hiding in plain sight, humorous and elegant in its
pathos of contemporary life.
