Objects of Mourning

October 01, 2015
Annex Gallery, Sprowls Hall

This event is over.

鈥淭hrough this body of work, I seek to understand how everyday objects assist us in transitioning through the difficult process of grief/mourning.

鈥淚 am primarily interested in how mourning and commemoration are contained within objects and our constructed systems. During the process of mourning, objects, such as clothing and photographs, link us to these loved ones that have passed.

鈥淢any of my recent pieces incorporate clothing from my deceased family members, as well as silhouettes and text pierced out of precious and semi-precious metals, as well as other materials. This work is a source of meaning beyond its physical properties and becomes an outlet for hyper-remembering, displacement, emptiness, loss, as well as sentimentality and hope.鈥
