Stitched UP
14″x11″
Ink on Archival Paper
Weltschmerz\/Parody<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This illustration portrays Stitch<\/b>‘s familiar chaos through a lens of weltschmerz<\/b> and social commentary (parody)<\/b>. The dense, frenetic, black-and-white patterns surrounding the creature\u2019s maniacal grin evoke an overwhelming sense of world-weariness<\/b> and modern sensory overload<\/b>. The visible “stitched” seam running down the center acts as a visual metaphor for the fractured nature of contemporary society<\/b> and the existential anxiety<\/b> beneath a forced, aggressive facade. It suggests a hollowness<\/b> at the core of relentless, consuming energy.<\/p>\n

**Weltschmerz Series<\/p>\n

**This is parody in order to communicate my social commentary using our childhood cartoons as inspiration and how they might react finding themselves suddenly existing in our current reality.**<\/p>\n

My childhood cartoons would not make sense of our world today if they found themselves transported out of the world they currently live in\u2026brightly colored, crisp clean lines and storyline resolutions in 22 minutes.<\/p>\n

This series allows me to express my thoughts, and provides some therapy, on the state of our country, world, culture \u2026 today, without being overtly political.<\/p>\n

\nI will be adding more current cartoon characters bc I think it continues to relate to new generations\u2026 not just mine.<\/p>\n

At the surface they\u2019re just paintings of known, beloved characters\u2014 but they\u2019re also a comment on the world I see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
