Artist Statement:
 
As part of Vanessa Cornell’s Junketings series, I know I have to get up, I just don't wanna! utilizes a multimedia approach that allows her to question and re-evaluate photography and painting and how these frequently opposing mediums can work together. She often employs other processes and mediums to continue her ongoing investigation of commonly clichéd attributes of female identity, including: beauty, aging, sexuality, domesticity and the crucial “alone time.” Through the culmination of her efforts, she creates honest, unapologetic and often satirical narratives of women in their domestic spaces.
