The above are very clearly referenced and well written in your statement. The orange highlights below are areas where further elaboration needs to take place. I'm unclear as what you mean/reference as "personal keepsakes" ( I immediately assume small trinkets or forms and media referring to something old; antiquity, even. ). The statement in green is a suggestion towards being more concrete... how do you use color and line? How do they function in a series or multiple series of your works? The simulacrum comment is oddly placed--- vocalize is an akward descriptor here! Does scale vocalize? Does scale force comparision? Does scale
infer the body? Think more about this!
For me, the creation of art becomes an obsession that wills the need for it to be done anywhere at anytime. With this having been said, my current work consists of mixed media "paintings" using elements such as spray paint, Bic ball-point pens, even yesterday's left over coffee. Using these "at-hand" everyday household items, I am continually striving to create an intimate form of art where these non-typical mediums become a part of personal keepsakes. The focus on detail within this process of collage and painting has carried over to my other pieces in digital photography, installation, and fiber-art. Scale plays a very important role in my works help vocalize that address the simulacrum and interrelationship between nature and synthetics; color and line(?) the content of personal narrative and experiences, which also inform questions about memory & identity.
The manner with which I use color and line is crucial to the personal narrative interwoven in my works; then a sentence to follow up... using opaque colors in conjunction with flat form......
blah, blah....

I admire the way you explain your process of art and the development which drives you to create your art. I believe the use of scale you explained with your pieces is very important and understanding when trying to realize the initial expression you’re trying to create for the viewers. Your use of non-ideal materials is very interesting in the experimentation of different forms of art which strengthens everything you do as a whole.
