mixed media
documenting the environment that surrounds me, capturing significant moments in the daily life, spending weeks to craft my hand-cut multi layer stencil work, serving as a diary from start to finish, it's deeply personal.

Found photographs usually provide the springboard for my work. I collect discarded strangers' albums, snapshots from my family's archive, and historic photographs from my hometown. Typically, these photographs are seemingly innocuous pictures of past holidays and milestones. Through painting and drawing, I attempt to unearth additional or varied meaning in the imagery. I use a wide range of materials in hopes visual elements such as color, pattern, and texture allude to the cultural, biological, and narrative forces that pervade these memories.

Anna received her B.F.A. in Illustration at Rhode Island School of Design. Since college she has concentrated on painting, creating several series over the years, including her Women on Wood (1994-1996): 6’ by 4’ mixed-media images guaranteed to make viewers uncomfortable.
Recently Anna’s work has reached a wider audience. Her Japanese postcard series (2003-2004) met with huge success, selling out in a year. In 2005, the resurgence of 80’s punk and new wave fashion inspired Anna to begin Retro Girls: a series of works on paper, salvaged wood and canvas, depicting the stories of several girls in a gritty cityscape.

I mainly use line, pattern, and repetition to craft my many messages into tangible artistic expressions. Currently, my creative aventures have been bringing me towards working with human socio/psychological issues, such as sexuality, morality, and obsession. Each piece has many meanings to reflect the different faces of the human psyche. My newest project revolves around a set of mixed media paintings which depict various American serial killers. This series will discuss America's obsession with these dark figures (how we glorify them), and it will act as a catalyst between the construction of moral/social taboos and the desensitization of American youth culture.

I have long been captivated by the powerful, feminine images presented in the pages of Playboy Magazine or the Barbie Dolls my sister played with as a child. I love the large, shimmering red lips, and over flowing bodice of the glamorous female figures, and this aesthetic carries over to my work with portraits and pinups. By using the traditional female archetype in art, characterized by exaggerated features of the female form (breast, eyes, cheek bones, chins, lips) I'm exploring and interpreting an ideology that challenges conventional norms of portraiture or figure drawing, while maintaining a thread of humor and irony in my work. I also create pieces that exploit imperfections and deformities, which I think are even more important to the viewing experience. I believe it is these different interpretations of female beauty that I am able to incorporate unique details and visual anomalies that create an unforgettable piece.

my name is sam. I go by the name Zero. I am currently a student studying photography. I have discovered that my photographs are representative of my life. My connection and communication is done completely thought my images. My workflow is mostly conceptual. An Idea or image appears into my head and im faced with the task of making it real. On a larger scale my body of work represents the entirety of my perspective of the world. Look at my works with an open mind and learn some of my values and ideas. In the end, I expect my work to have an impact on all types of viewers, for it is all encompassing.
