The work I am creating is a visual representation of how the goal of trying to achieve perfection—in our work and in ourselves—is incompatible with the messiness of life. I accomplish this in two ways: first, by using white acrylic panels that have been laser cut to create perfect geometric-shaped holes, and second, by creating abstract expressionist paintings on panels that represent the chaos in our lives. By assembling these two components into a whole piece, the viewer is confronted with the abstract concept of perfectionism put into physical terms. When viewing my work, I want viewers to consider how perfection affects their daily lives.
