My Artist StatementMy name is August Pointer Mace, and I am a senior at Ronald Reagan High School. I believe that art and creative fulfillment are an essential part of understanding the human experience, and can serve as a fascinating lens to see history through. I love working with ink and watercolor traditionally, as well as embroidery!
In my two years of IB Visual Art, I wish to explore alienation from the self and the ways that our national culture affects our thinking about those around us, as well as examining my own life as a gender non-conforming child and teenager. Above all, though, I hope to create art that is authentic and true to my lived experiences in a way that clearly shines through. |
