Come See This or Don’t, I Don’t Care Anymore

Addison Cooper

Addison Cooper explores a past relationship of both love and abuse in Come See This or

Don’t, I Don’t Care Anymore, by exploring innocence and romance through the delicate

construction of three sculptural elements paired with a triptych of crude expression. A sense of

frustration drives the composition, while both anger and rejoice play a part in the creation of

these works. The paintings are an interpretation of Atalanta’s Footrace from Greek mythology,

while the sculptures reflect Addison’s personal experiences in relation to the story. Though there

may be specificity to the symbols and elements used here, the viewer is invited to consider their

own past experiences with love and to question the lengths which they have gone for

somebody else.
