charming collage artist statement september 2023

an artist statement to go along with an mixed media textile/drawing installation i created september 2023.

soft sculptures create familiarity to an intangible space as they represent a part of nostalgic past, similar to a dream….even sometimes i cant remember if i had a dream or a memory…

art is a tool we use to jump into and out of a an intangible mind field…it is a language to physically describe what visually belongs in a memory 

the plush figures feel like a soft spot to land onto amidst this timeless space….i visit the physical space to connect with the nostalgic recollections 

framed drawings and cut out hanging charms depict a visual interpretation of spaces/objects that almost create familiarity to the memory but are too fantastical to be a reality…

the ephemeral installation aspect of the space creates a wistful interpretation of the passing of dreams and reminders. 

I invite you to ponder your own memories and how they manifest into the physical realm. ♥*♡∞:｡.｡
