Caney Hummon
My more recent works address ideas about the eternal and the untouchable. They express my many uncertainties in regards to religion, morality, and different cultural perceptions of the afterlife, and also to call into question dogmatic theology. The use of absurd realism and allegory in these works interpret these personal reflections so that they can be observed and understood by a wider audience.
There is a humorous, or absurd quality to my work, which makes it so none of the pieces take themselves too seriously, and their reflections become less didactic. This humor allows the work to be lighthearted and approachable, despite the serious existential questions being addressed. With this comes a sense of irreverence, or even indifference to the entire discussion, calling into question our attempts to understand concepts like God and the afterlife.
