"Me-Mor-Y" is crafted to challenge ideas surrounding public and private spaces, the seen vs. the unseen. It is what I hope to be a de-and-re-construction of myself in artistic form. It is the engagement of performance and writing, both intertwined as ritual and as a healing practice. Below please find a slightly reworked explanation of the title and break down of Me-Mor-Y.
Artist Statement
Me being self, my body, my space.
Mor being the many discoveries, moments, experiences, the context that makes Me.
Y being the motive; to learn about myself, the value of experiencing. The Y being the things that have led me to create differently. Creation being my son, my work, my evolving self.
