Feeling Right, 2017

Kiln cast, photography, vellum, new media

 

The imagery in Feeling Right is inspired by Rorschach ink-blot tests. I want you to take to opportunity to ask yourself: What do you do see and how does this make you feel? My photography is of other glass pieces I have made, as well as cracked glass pieces that would typically be thrown away are repurposed through my kaleidoscopic photography. The traditional mirror frames have been kiln cast creating a foggy surface which suggests that each piece is like a memory. We may only remember fragments, but their unique complexity is because of our perspectives. In this way, my work is a physical representation of thinking and memory.

 

I consider myself a multimedia performance artist with a deep appreciation and primary focus in glass. From an early age I have had a love for multiple art forms and through my time here at Salisbury University I have gained a new set of skills that have helped me create the work for this exhibition. I am grateful for every opportunity that has come my way and I am looking forward to continuing and expanding on this body of work in grad school someday.
