ART Habens
Amanda Graham
Positive or negative, human connection is the essence of human life. We need to connect with each other so that we can make sense of things around us. This is why the creative industries is so important to shaping a better world. There is a definite need to express ourselves but with every expression there is also a need for understanding. I believe to truly understand something there has to be participation between others. When I create artwork I always consider how others would perceive the message.
I recently participated in a group exhibition in London and the best thing about doing events like these is generating real connection with real people. Artist today can connect with people all over the globe because of the internet and social media. However, deep connection can be lacking on-line and you never truly get a sense of true intention of the viewer. To connect with people in the real world is incomparable and I believe only exhibitions and produce that kind of relationship.
I have created Murals past and I am looking forward to produce more also would love to see my surface prints on clothes.
