Proposal
Inspired by the transformative essence of the living world, my artistic work employs natural and vibrant forms to illustrate the more complex emotional realities of my life. My curiosity lies in investigating the physical collage of material, texture, and pattern alongside the metaphorical collage of my transformations in thought and being. The scope of my practice reaches a variety of media including painting, ceramics, and sculpture. My work exudes playful energy, visual rhythm, and child-like joyfulness with motifs of florals and diverse organic structures found in the outdoors. I am captivated by the idea of infusing vivid color into emotionally heavy areas of my story and looking at them from a new, often more light-hearted perspective. Art-making is a significant avenue for self-reflection and emotional regulation in my life.
In my presentation, I will walk through my visual journey thus far and elaborate on the context and concept that elicited each piece.
