How To Convince Me To Buy Something

Artist Statement:

Daniela Flint's studio practice revolves around creating pieces that address our perceptions of value. The work she creates challenges the viewer to compare emotional value to fiscal, decorative and utilitarian. As a Latinx artist my work also references cultural duality. It took an immense amount of effort as a child to be connected to multiple cultures, which in turn led to personally applying emotional value to ordinary objects and themes from American and Brazilian culture in order to express my feelings towards authorship and cultural dualism.
