Artist Statement

Answer (a paragraph for each) the following questions: What did you do? How did you do it? Why did you do it?

When writing an Artist Statement it’s important to remember that people who view your art may not get a chance to ask you questions they are curious about, especially if your work is hanging in a gallery, and you aren’t there. This is your chance to tell them what your work is about.

Also, it’s important to remember that an artist statement, along with your Fundamental Questions, are the two important documents for a core project.
