And so it begins... my final semester, graduate show, process paper. During the last residency, we chose our spaces in the gallery for the upcoming graduate show in August. Space was very limited (due to the fact there are 17 of us).
I chose two small spaces; an unusually tall, old, arched window inside the gallery and a bench which sits in front of a walkway and large fountain directly outside of the gallery main entrance.
For this exhibition, I am interested in exploring the social spaces of introversion and what these spaces represent within the social sphere. I plan to create a series of sculptural, installation works which further explores this notion. Recently, I have come to an awareness of my own introversion. Since coming to this awareness I have become consumed by the constructs which make these spaces manifest and how they operate within culture.
My friend David, loaned me an article which highlights the significance of windows in some historical works of art. I am anxious to read this, as I feel that much of the space we create socially has to do with perceptions.
