我的简介 - Vanessa Cash
I was born in Midland Texas, but I currently Live in Dallas, and am trying to relocate to Houston for Graduate school.
************
My current work visually represents the incoherent nature of experience.
I combine unpronounceable titles with the geometric of a flat graphic and the bubbly organic shape of soft pliable creatures.
The creatures I create come from my attempts to metabolize issues that have presented themselves to me. The padded bulky nature of most of my creatures relates to my own body issues. My creatures capture the stuffed and bulky feeling of being overweight help me come to terms with the truth of my body.
The forms also borrow from the strong mental imagery I had as a child about the monster that lived outside of my window. I was convinced as a child that it could see all of my sins, and was waiting to destroy my guilty self. This monster, I've come to believe, was kind of a young manifestation of my own emotional turmoil. This turmoil occurred due to the combination of my parents� messy divorce and my enrollment in Christian school. Christian school only taught me disdain for the moral structure it sought to uphold.
Perhaps the guilty monster of my childhood is dealt with by my manifesting it and imprisoning it in an installation. I see the basic wall graphics that are included in my installation as framing and containing the creatures. I have bound the creature that torments me, and stuffed it with my own psychological issues. Now with my own hands, I can bind or punish it, and consequently free myself of it's influence. These abstract monsters that exist in your mind are far more frightening then they would be if they are made manifest.
The title of my work has to do with the inability of language to express experience. Written language is the visual representation of sound , and does not accurately portray the unique relationships people form with words. I create a lexicon for my work in the title, which is either a hint at my emotional state, or a sound picture that captures what noise I feel applies to the installation. I feel the proper title for the piece further serves to bind my psychological monsters into a reality where I am better able to deal with them.
Choosing to use non-traditional elements in my art work explores the current interest of several artists craft items and how they are viewed in modern art. In combining wall graphics with my home- made items, I present these almost familiar creatures as something playful yet disturbing for people to explore.
I was first attracted to cloth because of the colors and texture available. , I felt that it lent a painterly experience of the space. I am working on developing my own visual archetypes involving color, shape, and form that I will use in future installations. As time progresses, I would like to further explore people's reactions to these creatures, and exploit the feelings of dangerous playfulness that are present in my creations.
