Edwards, Jeanette J., authorYust, Dave, 1939-, advisorCoronel, Patricia D., committee member2016-02-162016-02-162005http://hdl.handle.net/10217/170637This body of work is a visual interpretation of my thought process. A combination of the present, the essence of stored memories and the intensity of experienced emotions create a state of awareness. This awareness is a space influenced by stream of consciousness and repeated kinetic actions. A space where biology ends and psychology begins. The compositional format and repeated shapes lay the foundation. Slices of the past are frozen in the present through the different processes of layering media, while colors and depth of the subconscious surface through immediate acts of polishing, scratching, pulling and tearing. Each painting presented for thesis work traces experiences transformed through this process, depicting sections of consciousness simultaneously to produce a personal moment of awareness.masters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
