The Fractured Memory Of A Mind’S Eye, Russell G. White Jan 2017

The Fractured Memory Of A Mind’S Eye, Russell G. White

Theses and Dissertations

The work I create is informed by questioning reality/identity, the fractalizing planes

of existence our essence occupies, and the artifacts of memory experience navigating

through space time. While existing in this realm of oversaturated media and neon

glow, I question the effects of pervasive data systems overloading or programming the

mental software we possess. My work includes humor as a means of exploring these

conventions while also displaying psychedelic surrealist imagery to help break away

from the conscious prison this existence births our concept apparatuses within.

Restoration, Shannon M. Slaight-Brown

Theses and Dissertations

The marks I make in clay have different characteristics, and the physical mark of one’s fingertips or visual record of the hand is personal and intimate. This visible activity is the evidence of my constant presence and control within each object. Its repetitive meditation produces a private relief from my persistent anxieties. This exploration for me is not only visual, but also physical. This is the start of my infatuation with the idea of pattern. It has its own discrete visual language and modes of communication; and through my research I am developing a method of intercommunication.
