Naghandom and Reframing the Temporary and Permanent

Shows, Gloria Ann

Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Art.
Over the course of my time in graduate school I went from small figurative and narrative-based images on paper to large scale landscapes on textiles. Printmaking has consistently been the lens from which I most effectively communicate my relationship to memory and place. I am interested in cultural production of landscapes and how it influences individual and collective identity. Exposure to landscapes and the nature of their representation can frame and reflect both individual and community’s relationship to natural and constructed place. Factors such as an increasingly globalized world and my multi-cultural-multi-ethnic upbringing has imprinted my memory with divergent visual cultures. I pull from my imagination, which is largely influenced by memory, to communicate information about where and what I come from in the form of prints. I print landscapes and their ghosts as a visual language centered around place and people. Collectively, it describes how and who we see in the world we inhabit.
