MEMORY
In the search for more sustainable ways of making art, we must center our lives and work in what they actually are: temporary. We go through spaces of life in a constant cycle, and leaning into uncertainty is just falling forward again and again into different stages. In my two-year long culmination of material exploration and arts-based research I’ve investigated low tech ways of making art. Comprised of natural dyes, clay from local soil bodies, and lake pigment paints, my half of the joint show “MEMORY + macabre” makes considered use of mediums with certain inherit vices to interrogate memory keeping, environmental concern, and art production.
macabre
over the past year, i pushed myself back outside, back into the forest & the fields. i surrounded myself with animals, & i started to find bones again, everywhere i looked. they were calling to me. as i fell back in love with life, i fell back in love with the idea of death, honoring it instead of fearing it. i fell back in love with making things with my hands, & i fell back in love with worshipping mother earth, the moon, the sun, & all the stars. i hope my half of the joint show “MEMORY + macabre” transports you to a magical place.
