Featuring freshmen Travis Sparks artworks from Kentucky, USA.
“My name is Travis Sparks. I’m an 18 year old living in rural Kentucky. I just graduated, but I plan to attend University for Studio Art and Psychology. My work uses Sex, Drug Abuse, Violence, Religion, and Personal Trauma to evoke personal, yet universal experience. My goal is to create pieces that provide a profound sense of connection for the viewer. To call upon the unspeakable, but all pervasive experiences we share as human beings. This is important to me, as growing up homosexual in a small Christian town left me isolated for much of my childhood and early adulthood. Finding a few relationships that gave me a feeling of belonging and connection was vital for me. So in my work I strive to provide the same feeling for the isolated, damaged, and recovering viewer. ” – Travis
