description: With social and environmental challenges facing the earth, can there be an approach to show how to re-calibrate our relationships to things and places? In my artistic research, I have been utilizing various methods of looking at domestic objects through drawing, video, and 3D scanning to question how we relate to them and the wider world. The resulting works are installations comprised of a few real things presented alongside their, and many other, digital counterparts. The installations are composed of objects that should be relatable and recognizable through their ubiquity. I hope that the re-presenting of these familiar objects allows us to experience defamiliarization. Therefore, generating the ability to re-consider their relationships to the objects within our existing realities. Oranges, squash, apples, computer cables, hard drives, books, vases, flowers, etc. highlight the aggregate elements that compose our families. Taking notice of a kabocha squash, clay vase, or the cast of the sun resting on a cluttered dining room table becomes subscendent (moving towards relations) sites of connection. Working in ways to reveal the existing unseen and seen objects leads to potential moments of intimacy and relationships.
