Demetria Rose is
currently a Graphic Design student at Portland State University;
employed as an in-house graphic designer at The Center for Public
Service; a mother; and the owner of Dahlia Inspirations- an Arts and
Crafts company inspired by the birth of her daughter.
As an artist who
works in a variety of media, her artworks are saturated with
obviousness, mental inertia, clichés and bad jokes. They question
the coerciveness that is derived from the more profound meaning and
the superficial aesthetic appearance of an image. Parodying mass
media by exaggerating certain formal aspects inherent to our
contemporary society, she makes works that can be seen as
self-portraits. Sometimes they appear idiosyncratic and quirky, at
other times, they seem typical by-products of American superabundance
and marketing.
