Artist Statement: Takako Konishi
Daily life in our all-encompassing mediated culture has had profound effects on how we discern reality. Modern media through its various platforms and devices has grown into a behemoth, producing streams of imagery and content competing for our attention, often with messages that shape our attitudes, beliefs, and social values. With this premise I propose that content creation is equivalent to a new religion, and our hosting platforms are the new temples.
However, my art is not a negative critique of our mediated culture, I seek to explore and appropriate this data rich environment as raw material to create an art that has tension yet familiarity. Using collage, I explore the subject, aesthetic, pace, and sense of place we are creating through the many artifices of mass social media.
I am particularly interested in art that explores the fanatic, fringe, gaps, and contradictions in American culture. I feel to fully explore these areas, the art making process must also have a bit of fanaticism in it. My process typically starts with research, while stockpiling information on the subject. This involves image scavengery, photography, sketching and preliminary collage studies. Typically, a finished composition has between 500-800 layers that create the final piece.
My art is a diary, a daily confessional, a mosaic window in the temple of now.
