description:
there is a podium with three terrains with different levels of depth. The pedestal is 31 inches high, this makes one have to bend further down to access the inside, making it more difficult. I want people to spend time with it, but at the same time I don-t want to share. The pedestal is meant to look like an average pedestal, it is subtle, and could easily be disregarded. The people who actually take the time to see, to truly listen, are the people I want to share with. This push and pull of wanting to conceal or reveal myself is constant. I make it more difficult for people to access and to see my inner turmoil. There are many layers of my drawings, which are a way to distract the viewer from seeing the terrain fully. Each containment is a representation of my thoughts and memories. I am allowing the viewer to take a look inside my mind as if it were slides in a microscope or a world that has been excavated, but still hidden from view. I see the layers as originally being one unifying piece that has been cut into three different levels. Each study has levels making it more difficult to see inside. One box appears more shallow, it is a memory or thought I feel no need to hide. The deepest darkest box has more layers of plexiglass - more thoughts and distractions which make it harder to see inside. It is that deep thought in my mind that I avoid - those trigger memories that will eventually bubble up to the surface. As the mind heals from old wounds, it becomes that shallow box allowing more people to access it. Speaking about my experiences and learning from them allows the healing, which will eventually become the shallow box. It is as if these moments are frozen in time, contained for a chance to study and interpret them.
