MORBID CURIOSITY
ARTIST STATEMENT
Curiosity, a shared trait among visual artists Valerie Arntzen and Laura Clark, has been the motivation behind the creation of this lens-based art exhibition.
Morbid Curiosity represents a culmination of the artists observations and explorations into the fragility of life, delving into the concept of mortality in an earnest attempt to understand the human experience.
Arntzen and Clark extend an invitation to the viewer, encouraging them to embrace their own curiosity about the intricate interplay of life and death. These artworks reveal a journey undertaken by these two women who have come together to share their own philosophical contemplations and examination about life and humanity while navigating the vast world around them and the depths within themselves in a search for meaning and purpose.
