With the impacts of Covid-19, I was not able to completely install my thesis project. Included in this page are renderings that act as my graphic response to not being able to fully realize this project (yet). It’s made up of a mixture of 2d visualization and 3d process photographs. Stay hopeful, friends.
This work comes from the purest form of material exploration. It's both a question and an answer. It transforms and responds with the viewers experience. It guides you through the space, takes you on a journey.
In an effort to understand the relationship between human and object, I began forming earthenware clay into complex undulating forms. Exploring a bodily response to a material was a way to familiarize myself with my own intuitive reactions and solutions.
This work explores a dialogue about the places we’ve been, the places we’ve come from, and the places we chose to go. It opens up a conversation about the trails that define us, and the residue that stays with us when we return: the connections you made & found, the stability and support that you had, the things you thought about during the hard times and the ultimate spontaneity and passion that comes from leaving your comfort zone. My current work focuses of the relationship between the start and the finish, the transition and the flux. This piece, called Scarlet Sunshine, embraces the undulating transformation of the ever changing landscape and the psyche of being on the road.
