Vala, Jessie Rose2015-06-242015-06-242015https://hdl.handle.net/1794/1895718 pagesMy work involves ongoing research into historical and mythological narratives and ecological events that shape and change the world in unforeseeable ways. This unfolding exploration bleeds into my making, often in irrational ways. Through the use of a multitude of symbols and abstract narratives I investigate the possibility of a continuous shifting relationship to ourselves and our surroundings. I consider this perspective through the exploration of such tropes as technological devices, ritual, trance music, enigmatic sculptures, costumes, and metamorphic landscapes. These elements are seen in my multi-channel video's, soundscapes, and sculptural components of my ongoing installation work.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USDaughters of the Western TraceTerminal Project
