“iCON” is my attempt to reclaim the digital world, resurrecting iconic celebrities and artworks into the analog realm through handmade deconstruction and reassembly. I explore digital pixelation via traditional weaving techniques, reinterpreting iconic images, provoking viewers to reconsider the concept of celebrity in a world driven by avatars and online persona. Initially I was merely seeking a fresh form of creative expression beyond my graphic design practice, but through sourcing, cutting, and weaving, deeper subconscious themes emerged. iCON became a commentary on "iterative fame," taking “content” from the simulacrum of the internet and reclaiming these images as physical artworks.
