Abstract

My work strives to create catharsis through the construction of shared experiences rooted in identity and place. I do this by creating engaging sculptural works that viewers can interact with both mentally and physically. My visual research takes the form of houses, nests, or swings and references play, rest and prayer. These works become safe spaces for people to engage and form connections with those around them and within themselves. I intend to create enjoyable experiences for viewers with the purpose of gaining an opportunity for introducing deeper contemplation on ideas such as how identity forms over time, and through what means. My culminating thesis work encourages viewers to contemplate home and how our origin can deeply influence our identity.
