Hard Femme : Art: Jaime Warren

What makes art? Is it skill? Being able to replicate something like a landscape or a person's face so expertly that you believe it to be real? Is it making something so thought provoking that it challenges our beliefs on religion, sexuality, government and our own realities? Or is it anything that makes us stop, look, and pay attention. Reading an article in the June/July 2013 in Bust magazine I found the artist Jaime Warren. Her weird, grotesque and hilarious pop culture references are as ireverent as they are spot on. Using the meme "Totally Looks Like" she combines photos of herself dressed as celebrities and what they... totally look like, also herself. In her "Celebrities as Food & Food'lebrities" series she poses as different celebrities as, you got it, the food they look like. It can't be described your just gonna have to look at it. Maybe you get it, maybe you don't, maybe its art or maybe it's just internet culture gone array but its worth a look, and a maybe a 2nd and 3rd.
