possibilities for each artist, exposing their Chawan in places that are beyond their reach.

Artist Statement:
As
individuals we endeavor to assert our uniqueness, but in the same
breath ask if our experiences are shared by others. The contact of two
hands, the pull of gravity on sinking form, the small indent of a hidden
smile, I observe the subtle movements in life and through my work, ask
you to do the same.
Just
as we only pick up on tiny gestures when speaking face to face, the
conscious mind has the amazing ability to find meaning in the minuet.
The brevity and physicality of these interactions laden with
significance is fascinating to me and through my choice of format and
material I try to draw attention to the details we often overlook.
In
my most recent work I’ve been exploring the intricacies of human
interaction and our perceptions of each other through the use of the
body. Though the strategies I use to convey ideas vary greatly, there is
always a connecting thread tying human presence to the content.
I
have great interest in studying people from objective point of view and
in turn, make work that allows me to create a platform in which to
observe and engage others. I strive to create work that is likes a
conversation, rich in information, fluid, and fleeting.
Here is the info for the images. The concepts for the works are explained further on her site.
