Final BFA show in the Ridenbaugh Gallery
Personal space is something we all deal with in some way or another on a daily basis. We all have personal body space. Sometimes that space is closely guarded and outsiders are kept at arms length. Sometimes our personal body space is small yet we welcome intrusion into it with open arms. Space is individual as well as communal and is connected to our bodies and to our community. My installation deals with comfortable and uncomfortable spaces and how they are shared or kept private within the community. Each piece has its own individuality but is part of a group or neighborhood of spaces. The dimensions of the pieces are based on my own dimensions as well as the dimensions of people I know, becoming in essence portraits of the individuals. The objective of this body of work is to not only come to grips with my own issues with space but to ellicit a reaction from the viewer as they deal with their body space in relation to my body space and the body space of others.
