The pieces that are in this SMP show are works that are extremely personal, but personal in a way that demands for them to be seen and noticed by others. I am interested in these works that I have made, as they are unique responses to the world that is unlike anything else. The works are utterly and entirely Michael Bargamian. The pieces that I am making are my imprints, they are my presences, and my evidence of my own life in this world. These works are connected to me through an umbilical cord of marks and gesture that spell out where I made myself known for all viewers to bear witness to.
