dc.description.abstract | The idea of the "spiritual" conjures notions of belief, wonder, and divinity for many people. I have come to understand the spiritual to be a part of my daily life, my inner thoughts and feelings, and the means to which I understand the world around me. To give a complete explanation of the meaning of this word would be taking on the task of defining God and is ultimately ineffable--too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words. Yet, living my life through the lens of the spiritual has offered me both solitude and relationship, a greater hope, and tranquility. Most of all it has offered me a haven and a sacred space to heal. Held is a body of work consisting of small-scale sculptural objects that explore concepts of divine ecstasy, serenity, and reverential awe. These notions are expressed through containers that act as an allegorical expression of the soul and as a sanctuary for reflection. Creating these objects afforded me the opportunity to process my experiences into tangible form through therapeutic processes of making. Through this body of work, I intend to inspire wonder, contemplation, and imagination about our shared existence. | |
