Abstract: Through collage and three dimensional model sculptures, my work seeks to visually navigate domestic interior and exterior spaces tied to specific childhood memories. I am interested in the visual investigation and recreation of my childhood home and familiar domestic constructions. I describe specific memories by building autonomous domestic structures that include everyday items to indicate common interior and exterior surfaces. I explore both two and three-dimensional space with the use of collage and model making materials. My work employs three dimensional spaces, and the illusion of space to reveal its possibilities; I play with physical space and the illusion of space to support and challenge one another. My written thesis describes my work and process in detail. I will also examine the notion of home and childhood, the influence of my own memories, and the creative impact of artists Ann Toebbe and Paul Pfeiffer.
