CAMERON BENNETT:
ARTIST STATEMENT
Spring 2010
Group II
All around us we see the display of tribal emblems: religious, political, cultural, sexual. What is of especial interest to me is the habit of displaying these emblems on oneself, especially sports emblems.
Using visual metaphor, and working in a style which calls attention to its extrinsic painterly qualities, I am attempting to raise questions about the use of representation, not only sociologically (as in the importance attached to the emblem as a representation of tribal identification) but philosophically as well (as in the drawn or painted mark of the artist as an emblem, simulation, or representation of the visual world).
