Lorna Pirrie

I hope to achieve one of two things with my work, or preferably both. One,  to touch the viewers emotions, two, to make them think.Think about what? Well, to think about perceptions, I want each viewer to relate to the art on a personal level, to interpret the work as how it relates to them and their personal experiences. As people we are conditioned to 'see' things in a way that is fitting to how we have been influenced by society around us. More often than not images we see everyday are produced with the goal of presenting what the creator wants us to 'think' the image is about, not an accurate depiction of the reality of what ever the subject is. We are bombarded from every angle with images of how we should look, act, and the life style we should aspire to. I try to engage the viewer to look deeper into an image and discover their own reality held within my work.
