Meditation On The Middle Ground, Jennifer Chandler Creef
Meditation On The Middle Ground, Jennifer Chandler Creef
Masters Theses, 2010-2019
The installation of Meditations on the Middle Ground, is a space filled with photomontages, video and sounds that were captured during my expeditions out on the water, through the woods and by the shore. My work is a meditation on my relationship with the natural environment and how to form new realities out of these interactions.

Art From The Outpost, Field Notes, New Territory, And The Invisible Hamster, Dymphna De Wild
Masters Theses, 2010-2019
The outpost installations I create reveal my choice to be inventive with mostly found materials that I discover on my walks. Calling myself an artist-archeologist, I write down field notes as I collect my art-bound specimens and make a descriptive inventory for each of the works. I often surprise my viewers (and myself) by creating something fabulously strange and compelling with things that were cast aside. I hope to increase my viewers’ abilities to find beauty in these forgotten and trashed items and to generate an innovative dialogue and an outside-of-the-box way of thinking.
