Our Artists' Statement

The ‘Seven Deadly Sins’, also known as the Cardinal sins, are a series of seven objectionable vices that have been used in Christianity since early times to shape and educate individuals concerning individual tendencies to sin. Wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony serve as the ideas that capture mortals and lead to the destruction of grace. After splitting up the different topics, each person in our group took their own individual spin on there meaning of the word. Whether the image taken was captured on a spur-of-the-moment whim or plotted ahead of time, each artist thought well past the basic connotation of their sin and emphasized they’re own personality and vision of art.

PRiDE

 
A-R-i-Z-O-N-A! When I decided on the word 'Pride' I wanted to look for something beyond the 'deadly sins', to a definiton that I feel in my everyday life. At an Arizona Football game, the feeling of pride was felt through the entire stadium, and the moments of joy and excitment that filled the stadium before kick-off I feel were captured in this photo from my seat in the Zona Zoo.
