Memory and Space: An Artistic Inquiry

Abstract

This thesis traces my body of work produced throughout my BFA year both conceptually and art historically. My work explores the artistic potential present in prefabricated construction materials and familiar architectural spaces as a means and source for the production of images and objects. The resultant artworks examine the dialogue between memory, space, material, and representation through the language of painting. By the superimposition of the pictorial onto the literal, the works examine cognitive and perceptual dissonance, as well as visual and intellectual pleasure.
