CULLEN WEGMAN ART

Artist Statement

My artwork responds to dominant cultural narratives of the United States, critiquing the oftentimes blurry boundary between history and mythology. These critiques take the form of narrative works in mixed-media sculpture, installation, and drawing. In meta-symbolic spirit, I appropriate widely from sources including found objects, popular culture, political rhetoric, fiction, and my imagination: developing a unique mythology along the way. This work - though political in nature - is not didactic nor completely ambiguous. Rather, it occupies a bizarre aesthetic middle ground in which I believe the most fascinating discourse is found.

As the powers-that-be continue to whittle away at any collective sense of "reality," careful artistic responses are all the more vital to
a healthy democracy.
