revised artist statement! please read and give feedback!
a house by definition is set to provide us with warmth and shelter from natures elements, though a home is a far different thing. a home can be considered a place where a family is created, memories are formed, and traditions have a chance to be set. upon those same expectations of familiarity and comfort there lies a risk of the space becoming disjointed and fragile. in constructing these scenes i am exploring the discomfort a home might have, the fractured tasks that demand to be finished, and my own personal questioning of what i want within my future.
im on AIM right now if anyone wants to send feedback there! my screen name is read and destroy!

my artist statement
hey everyone! i know this is kind of going up late but im hoping that i can get some feedback on my artist statement before tomorrow, its still not feeling all there for me and anything would be really helpful.
Thanks! and i would really awesome if everyone could post theirs too so i can finish up those questions for tomorrow :-)
It’s a fact of life that people grow old, yet it is so hard to watch the ones we love slowly loose their strength and begin to lean on us for help, as we once did to them. After two hip replacements, everyday is a challenge for my father just to get out of bed. However, the pain has not stopped him from doing all the things he has always loved doing. He refuses to give in to the aging process that is taking over his entire body. He has always been a strong figure in my life and watching him suffer is very hard for me to come to grip with. He has always taught me to do what I love doing no matter what stands in my way and to see him still living the life he wants to lead every day is so inspiring to me. For this, I find him such a strong symbol for the fight against growing old and giving in.
