Between Space

In this paper, I will be exploring my work and its layers of meaning through my own personal connections to process, material, mark-making, theory and the body image. As well as contextualize my interests in physiology, psychology and identity as it relates to western culture and the human condition. Through my relationship in creating art, I will explore the connections and struggles within the animal human identity and the conscious unconscious experience. I am interested in a Post-Structuralized school of though and have aligned my theories with such writers and philosophers as Carl Jung, Robert Johnson, Gilles Deleuze, Mircea Eliade, and Suzi Gablik, to name a few. It is my belief that the body and mind are not in a relationship with one another, but instead they exist in a constant continuum of connection.
