Abstract:
"’Validity’ is a series of works that explore installation sculpture, fabric sculpture, bronze casting, photography, and audience-based interaction. My thesis body of work addresses themes surrounding societal pressures, the human experience, protection, womanhood, and transformation. These themes are used as subject matter, often intermingling within a piece to create discourse surrounding the sculpture's meaning. Form and the human body are inherently tied to sculptural work. To experience a sculpture three dimensionally, one must move around the structure and assess its form. ‘Validity’ is based entirely on inspiration found in the ‘Curved Diamond Shape,’ a form I used in conversation with every piece in this body of work.” –Abstract
