Artist STATEMENT

Cody is an interdisciplinary artist, he is discovering the ways humankind has disrupted and intervened in ecosystems across North America. With the goal of having the human experience intertwin with nature's experience with humankind destruction. As Cody builds this series he will focus on how individual species and ecosystems are being drastically affected by Humanities' impact throughout the North American region. Cody's goal is to shed some light on issues that have been neglected by the mainstream world we currently live in and plans to go to great lengths to accomplish this.

  Cody's interpretations of these issues are presented in his numerous styles of artwork. As an interdisciplinary artist his practice in media is fluid, but all of his works keep the same issues and discussions in mind when presented. He does not like to be bound by professional labels such as painter or sculptor. Cody is himself, and by doing so he doesn't feel bound to one media in his work. Mediums aren't an important issue to him, at the end of the day, he creates art that is confrontational to get the attention of the public and discuss the issues that are being avoided. Our environment deserves justice and acknowledgment, and Cody wants to be the advocate for advancement in public acknowledgement over the dire issues occurring in North America.
