Artist Statement "Care Tags"

Dolores Cuccovia
Artist Statement
Fall 2008
“Care Tags”


As an Artist, I use empathy as a means of purpose in my work, creating dialogue and making connections between people on a humanistic level. Discovering and reacting to relationships that exist in our world is imperative to my inspiration, as well as using the expression of conflicts within the self as a therapeutic form. My interest in psychological, societal issues causes further discovery during my creative process. This piece is a communication themed piece that touches on qualities of individual characters and how to effectively interact with them. The piece is composed of clothing with tags that have been recreated to reference each specific person. Since the people referenced own the clothing used, the viewer is given a sense of each character. I found clothing tags to be an effective medium since the information provided on them applies so well to human care instructions. With this piece it is my goal to humorously remind viewers to be cautious and thoughtful when communicating with other humans.
