Artist Statement 2008

Candice D. Alexander Telephone: 1-337-370-9192 candice@alexanderartstudio.com

"As an artist, as of late, I am exploring and rediscovering ideas and images through deconstruction, rebuilding, and layering. I am currently exploring themes of interpreted shifts between dreamlike images and reality to create surrealistic imagery. Reality shifts are the source of all synchronicity and coincidence where dreams, wishes and prayers come true.

I enjoy making fine art with early and late technology and machines: digital graphics and printing to intaglio printmaking in combination with mixed media, drawing, photography and painting. I combine several ideas by building an attempt to trigger the imagination by creating a sense of wonder using art, math, science and kinetics as a focus. Harmony of design and proportion are important elements in my work; I find great pleasure in being aware of them and documenting the experience. We can see reality shifts as they occur and learn from witnessing this awesome phenomenon how our thoughts and feelings change the physical world. The brain is actively living in communion with the Universe, in every memory, and I am intrigued by the translation from the brain to the hand and the creation of a new piece. "
