| dc.description.abstract | The artist's statement: This series is based around connection and disconnection, especially as it pertains to forming relationships over distance. We are social beings, constantly seeking ways to feel less alone and to relate to others as we navigate the world. Through digital communications, we build a landscape that transcends physical separation. We create meaningful relationships despite barriers like slow connections, blurry pixels, and crackling audio, which I represent through layers of digital glitch. These altered layers embody internal disconnection from self and the aspects of personality that we curate and share online. We weave digital personas, networks, and communities in order to create meaning during times of isolation. Analog and cut paper elements of these works include maps, musical scores, messages, and jokes, referencing the locations of individuals and the aspects of them that I enjoy, miss, and wish I could witness in person. These ways that people seek to relate with the world around them reference the way I am simultaneously connected and disconnected from a given individual, allowing these works to function as portraits. My work is about seeking meaning, and ways to feel known, seen, and loved. The relationships that I build and the works that I create are ways for me to communicate, connect, and feel closer to the people that I care about, regardless of distance. | en_US |
