SHIFTING BOUNDARIES
a new series of art from Aileen Imperatrice.
How do we evolve?
Our lives give us many opportunities to expand our perspectives. We start out mostly influenced by our families and we are taught values and beliefs close to theirs. As we grow older we decide for ourselves if these beliefs should continue, do we think they are valid?
This series shares my visual thoughts on taking the views we are given and allowing ourselves to shift them. We create our own boundaries by how we choose to see and interact with the world. We become confined; defined by our bodies, our minds, our actions. We can either be isolated by these beliefs or we can be liberated by opening our minds. By allowing ourselves to review and refresh our perspectives we broaden our life experience. In the end, it's up to us to redefine, escape our containment; shift our
boundaries.
In my art, I allow myself to experiment with different genres and techniques. This art series went into a more abstract form of expression than I've done before. I have been motivated by work I've encountered over the last year and by my chosen theme for this series, which lead me to choose to take this specific journey at this time. By doing this, I have allowed my own art to evolve and expand the way I approach my artistic expression. It opens the door for whichever direction my art will take next.
