1- Audrey Fox: Personal Statement

I would like to focus on film (or digital video) this semester, particularly as combined with elements of music, fine art, creative fiction, and photography. It is difficult to describe my aesthetic, in part because it is not completely developed, but I know that I do tend to gravitate towards art that shocks the viewer. I have always held onto the notion that art can create change. I want to provoke new patterns of thought in people, yet I realize such a goal can only be successful if art is widely available to the public eye. That said, I would like whatever I create this semester to include a component of performance artistry in the sense that it fosters an interaction between the viewer and the creative product.

My background is mostly in visual arts, yet lately I have felt restricted by the fact that a painting, for example, can only reach a limited group of individuals, both emotionally and physically. While I appreciate a painting’s subjective and abstract nature, it can be frustrating and obviously difficult to duplicate. As a result, fairly few people can be appropriately affected by it.

I also have previous experience in writing (I took playwriting last semester), a strong background in dance, and have dabbled in songwriting. I guess the bottom line is, I am open to pretty much anything in any field of art as long as it accomplishes my goal of changing the viewer and making a strong statement.
