Abstract Details

2018, MFA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Art.
Spreading prolifically and harmfully, invasive species overpower the areas they inhabit. This body of work contextualizes the concept of invasive species into five main parts. Each element, ivy vines, honeysuckle plants, rabbits, black beetles and cicadas, are classified as invasive for their destructive tendencies. In addition to this, each serves as a metaphor for different aspects and characteristics of myself and life. Whether they be representative of a moment from childhood or of a trial of adulthood. "Invasive" presents a series of 23 suspended fabric panels and 3 crafted benches that come together to create a large scale three-dimensional sculpture to capture the essence of my concept.
