Burdine's Law of Intersecting Forces

Abstract Details

2019, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.
How are institutions processed through individual human beings? How do they intersect and permeate human bodies? What is the effect of institutions on the individual and how does the individual in turn affect social structures? My work investigates the physical, psychogenic, and material interchanges between social institutions and personhood. Repetition, landscape, and organic materials play reoccurring roles in my work as I explore complex socially-constructed systems and the imbalanced relationship between institutions and the individual. Through my most recent bodies of work, Collected and Early Winter, I make visible the movement of time and family through physical bodies. I employ ash trees and menstrual blood as both material and subject in works of sculpture, painting, photography, and poetry.
