Mashups

Resilience
Senior Studio and Thesis Show, April 2008
Artist Statement:
My artwork is chiefly autobiographical – it deals extensively with themes of family, personal development and growth. In this exhibition I explore different concepts of home through people, locations, family, and cultural identity. Some of my associations with home are permanent memories and some are constantly evolving. When I think about the word home I remember the house I grew up in, which was always in a state of reconstruction. I think about how since I moved out of that house, I have not lived in a stable residence.
For me, home has come to mean traveling, temporary residences, and the influential people I have surrounded myself with along the way. My obsession with other people’s homes and family dynamic is rooted in my ongoing search for a domestic environment I can call my own. Although home is something I am still coming to terms with, I am resilient. And I’m still working on overcoming my hardships by sharing these experiences through my art.
My artistic process is a framework for psychological healing and creative expression. My memories shape my identity and I process much of my own personal evolution through these works. Through the pieces in my show I hope to convey the idea of a homelike structure that I have built for myself over the years, and am still trying to define.
