Here I am during my first (?) visit to I-Park Foundation up in East Haddam, CT, back in 2018! I was just beginning to find my artistic voice through time spent in nature. 🦋I’m not sure who created these sculptures from found materials (if anyone recognizes them, enlighten me), but these artworks profoundly impacted young me.
~~
Soon I’ll create my own sculptures out in these woods! I have an upcoming 2wks residency at I-Park this September. As I pulled together application materials a few months back, I reflected deeply on the experiences that brought me here. I grew tremendously through my first residency at the Norwalk Art Space. Collaboration and interaction are critical to my art (yes, even despite being an introvert), and the encouragement of my colleagues changed the trajectory of my art.
~~
At I-Park I’m excited to mesh my sculptural and painterly languages and symbolisms, as well as create art that interacts with both humans and nature (being both large and outdoors🌱). My practice flourishes with woven threads of installation and relief, painting and sculpture. I look forward to creating more site-responsive sculptures that use sculptural and painterly sensibilities in tandem.
~~
I’ll keep you all posted! 👀
