dc.description.abstract | In my artistic practice, I employ a wide variety of media to create work intended to create an immersive, personal and vulnerable narrative for the viewer, connecting to my own and hopefully sparking a memory of the viewer’s personal experience. I use labour-intensive hand textile practices such as embroidery, crochet and sewing. I also use collected objects, especially kitschy, crafty ones, drawings, photography, and video to form immersive installations. I am interested in making work that doesn’t require the viewer to have prior academic training to understand at least part of it, to bring it outside the insular sphere of the art world, which can be stifling. I often refer not just to art and cultural theorists but to pop culture, blogs, feelings and conversations I have when making and talking about art. This thesis statement contains a chronology of my experience in the MFA program, as well as descriptions of influences on the context of my practice. | en_US |
