Art's Creation, Kayden Mote, 2020
My work was inspired by art itself, and the importance of its presence in our world. Being an artist, art is something that’s always been in my life that I’ve appreciated. In my piece, I show how art creates the world we live in.
One idea I explored is that the world is plastic, like moldable clay. The world is shapeable and we can make what we want of it. I also explored the metaphor of the earth being the clay which is molded by artists around the world. The hands and all the colours in my piece represent the diversity in art between the people that produce it, and art itself and its versatility.
Another idea I display is that the earth is fake like plastic. I show that art is what is organic and real in it. I present how art brings colour and genuinity to the world. Without art, our world is lifeless and mundane; it brings joy and being, and makes life interesting.
