Artist Statement

Mattie McArthur

As a photographer, I use digital and film photography. I chose this media, because it allows me to capture memory, as well as recreate a memory. It also allows room to play with the idea of realistic and unrealistic subjects. I work with the media, because it is easiest for me to grasp, and share a concept, I create using real life, and the use of a camera allows me to do just that. I strive to create images, which speak out on topical situations, we as humans face, and create for ourselves. I practice this work by using the human body, along with research on the subject. In my photography, I start with a focus, and create a story, that will speak to the viewer as well as myself the artist.
