Juliana Irene Smith
Artist Statement
The work I make focuses on “human desperation” and the “politics of belonging.”
It is about individuals trying to belong to something greater than just the loneliness. It is about the voices in our head. I focus on the inner place, (not to be confused with inner peace) and on the human as a place. We are unique, unidentifiable and yet unified all at the same time. I find that interesting... I hope you do too.
I think it is important to see the irony and humor in it. I can laugh at myself, can you?
I explore internal and external desperado through all mediums and emotions. The work is not about aesthetic but approachability. I work through process and investigate the duality of humans, the exterior of what the world sees and what we really think. I think I am drunk. What time is it?
