Its crazy to think that the end of the third semester is nearly upon me. Deadlines are fast approaching for papers, as well as my third semester stdio review to discuss the progress of my work.
2nd year MFA students are also expected to have their exhibition title, press image and statement ready for our thesis shows mid next year.
It has taken me all semester to work out what I am trying to say. The concepts have been teased out through my studio work which has been working intuitively with found materials within the theme 222 Grips for a Stone.
Along side this I have been reading a book a week and writing a response for independent studies. Through my reading and writing I have slowly filtering my key areas of interest which has finally been distilled into one word: Liminal.
Press Statement
Liminality
is the moment in time when things transition from one state to the
next. The
dissolution of order creates a fluid, malleable situation
where one's
sense of identity dissolves, bringing about disorientation, but also
the possibility of new perspectives. Often the liminal experience is
subliminal, existing or operating below the threshold of consciousness.
My MFA thesis exhibition explores the social context of liminality relating to place, travel, loss and regeneration through physical and metaphysical objects.
