Abstract Details

1999, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.
During the past two years I witnessed the transformation of my studio from a traditional working environment to a more ambiguous space. My studio became a space for recreation and socialization as well as a site for contemplation and production. Located among more typical graduate painting studios, my studio often provided visitors with a confounded experience of the space. Though initially accepted into graduate school through the discipline of painting and drawing, I soon abandoned the medium in favor of more mundane activities. With the realization that art could mean more than conventional imagemaking, the focus of my interest shifted from the production of art objects to the emphasis of everyday experiences. Consequently, the existence of artwork found in my studio space became increasingly less obvious. The combination of a lack of art coupled with the ambiguous nature of my studio provided an outward appearance indicative of more casual use. This space and my relationship to it became the subject of my investigations as a graduate student.
