Artist Statement:
CHRIS TWOMEY statement
www.christwomey.com
christwomey@earthlink.net
My body of work, inspired by
themes of origins and
identity, involves painting,
drawing, film, installation,
digital media and sound. Using
my own life and experience as
a female in society as
springboard for meditations on
the human condition and our
interconnectivity, the work
explores scientific,
psychological, or conceptual
ideas that impact our
understanding of identity
FRACKED VENUS 2011 DVD
FRACKED VENUS examines how
society reveres the priceless
exterior of our healthy world,
as exemplified by the youthful
perfection of the VENUS de
MILO sculpture and yet allows
a frightening practice which
releases toxins, pollutants,
and unseen dangers that
destroy our cells and infects
our interior world with
cancer, immunological illness,
and mutations. A DVD
accompanied by the sound of
Fracking for Natural Gas
drilling, animates the
progress of a PET scan, which
drills through the torso of
human VENUS whose interior has
been tainted and stained. A
print of VENUS de MILO
accompanies.
