Accumulation

O'Connor, Susan Li

Abstract Details

2010, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.
The overarching theme of my thesis research is my ongoing fascination with accumulation. We begin at an early age to gather and collect things, out of a need or necessity as we form ideas of ownership or personal distinction from one member of the family to another. As we grow older, we begin to accumulate not only material things but ideas and perhaps an accumulated sense of experiences as well. The biggest component in my work is the fact that every piece has some form of accumulation in it, whether it is through the use of material, in mark making with a traditional tool, or accumulated personal experience. My interest in accumulation lies not only in my studio practice through my process of mark making, but also in part to the idea that the urge to accumulate material doesn’t stop at the studio door.
