Abstract Details

2011, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.
Making With Caution, my most recent art installation, will serve as an investigation into the meaning of death and dying. It will be on display at the Urban Art Space, in Columbus, Ohio, and will operate as a culmination of my formal education in contemporary fine art. Furthermore, it will operate as evidence of my very existence, and will abstractly illustrate the quiescence of death and dying through a video, perceived live performance, and sculpture. Each of these three components will be deconstructed in great detail in regards to their conversation in fine art and religion. In the following pages, I will examine how art may appease the overwhelming angst associated with death and dying, which consequently allows me to enjoy, savor, and appreciate the little time I have on earth. Through a thorough investigation of Making With Caution, I will describe how I use art as a supplement to pacify my anxiety related to my fear of death, and how it operates as a direct consequence of my current spiritual dissatisfactions.
