About this artwork
After three weeks of drainage issues in my studio where human feces burst into my precious creative space with force, this was an obvious place to start my new creative movement with a bowel movement! I had to laugh about it and embrace the poo!
I've been having a blast using these emojis in fresh and interesting ways on my instagram and feeling much more light about it.
Here's what a critic friend of mine who saw this in the studio had to say,…
"Karson’s new work offers a probing take on the blended nature of contemporary culture. By placing the familiar poo emoji against a blue and yellow backdrop echoing the Ukrainian flag, it captures the liminal space of the social media feed, where instant emojified pop culture intermingles with horrific scenes of war, climate emergency and an impending apocalypse. In foregrounding the emoji, Karson offers a searing indictment of how most of us prioritise the flippant over the important."
