| dc.description.abstract | My Grandfather's experiences inspired a body of work based on ideas of trauma and personal experience. A Space to Breathe focuses on the idea of reacting to the notion of family history within the human body. In the works created, paint was used as a tool to describe how one experiences a memory from an emotional context. Each work created referenced a specific memory while the works together tell a larger narrative. I used my body to create the paintings, spanning my arms and moving around the surface. Materials were considered due to the fact that they were delicate and can change over time. | |
