dc.description.abstractMy artistic practice is informed by philosophies of consciousness, existentialism, and personal narrative. My life is experienced through waking and dreaming modes of being. This condition informs the context for the artwork. I am interested in conveying the fluidity of existence through sculpture by using materials freely, such as clay, plaster, and drawing mediums. My exhibition Strange Being calls attention to the darkness of my ego, through reflecting on my lived trauma. I will discuss how these ideas informed the Master of Fine Arts thesis exhibition as a whole, and through individual artworks.
