Too Much

This is also a reflection on my concerns with the crazy amount of things we consume.  Moving showed me how much clothes and material things I have that I really don't need.  Living in a populated area has also shown me as a society how much we throw away.  This painting reflects my process of experimentation because I am doing an extra small size that I am normally not doing.  I chose this size to help show the overwhelming amount of stuff we have.  I use the squares like a small box or window and my goal is to shove as much stuff as I can to help exhibit the excess amount we have in such little space.  I also use the figure pressed up against glass looking directly at the viewer to confront and to also describe the idea that we have so much stuff in such a little space. (we can’t keep cramming stuff into our planet without having consequences).  This plays into the idea of control because on one hand we have total control of what we choose to purchase and but on the other hand at times it feels like we have no control of our purchase like buying is an out of body experience. (impulse buys, insane marketing strategies, societies ideas of what we should have that makes us cool or successful).
