Artist Statement

This work is a visual representation of the otherworldly nature and beauty of the inhabitants of Atlanta. We are also known as “Atliens,” coined by our city’s very own Outkast. The term was a way to broadcast the ascension of influence we’ve come to recognize Atlanta for in recent years.

The use of space and space-travel motifs combines familiar faces in the Atlanta arts scene, to depict the progression of ATL’s creative craftsmanship; shining so bright for the world to see and admire, a star amongst vast the sky.
