Abstract | Remembering the familiarity of a gingham vallance and the valleys of cracked mud, my Master of Fine Arts thesis exhibition Jack Diddly Squat burrows into the subconscious to expose autobiographical details of childhood and stubborn change that ensues with age. By reflecting on the past, I use metaphors and allegories to form new imagery and sensibilities to create my work. Connecting what I know of the past to recent, challenging experiences allows me to imagine new environments in which my work lives. |
