Apperley's Artist Statement
As an artist and a conceptually-centered designer, my work in the past few years has been focused on sculpture, drawing and photographs that represent the breadth of our image and consumer culture. I am hoping in the near future to observe these same issues through printed textiles and other semi-functional objects of design. Modes of dissemination and re-interpretation are subjects of my investigation along with an exploration and celebration of feminine expression within our capitalist economy.
