dc.description.abstract | My thesis show Your Cadence was intended to create an experience for the viewer, challenging the normal ways of viewing an exhibition. Using the tools of stop-motion animation, sculpture, sound, and a simple mirror, I created an installation that plays off of our human perception of space. The gallery is home to an undulating otherworldly landscape that exists on the ceiling, designed to be viewed by looking down into a hand-held mirror. This creates the sensation that one is walking on this unusual ceiling. Embedded in this landscape are contained oases that present windows into animated worlds and bodies of water. This gently unsettling and surreal environment is intended to create a site of curiosity, exploration, and heightened awareness of the workings of one's own body; to study the ways that information is transferred across perceived time and space; to meditate on the futility and humanity of our striving to conceive of things we can't fully comprehend. | en_US |
