Today's subject is the presentation by Jono Vaughnan. The presentation was a really nice experience. Throughout the presentation he discussed various topics : Gender Identity, creative process, amongst some. It is always good to have the artist presenting and explaining the underlying meaning of his art. One topic that came back a lot was the gender identity. I thought it was interesting that he uses art to express his inner self and his perception of society. Also, the fact he uses his art as a social tool to raise awareness about transgender issues in today's society. A lot of his work is personal. A good example for that would probably be the paintings of him with just the hair and no faces. As explained by him they represent him and his anonymity as a transgender. Overall, it was a really good experience and the thing that really inspired me is when he said that making art is not always successful and the simplest pieces are often the most successful.
