Abstract
This report of Creative Thesis examines the transitions of my family life, generational traditions, and enduring memories of my childhood. These are portrayed through bronze, aluminum, and welded steel sculptures arranged into intricate natural forms. My memories from childhood growing up with five sisters are directly expressed through this biographical body of research. Twigs, seedpods, and blossoms found in nature are woven into the work highlighting specific memories. This biographical work reflects families entwined, tangled, and existing together through the joys and travails of life.
