entangled // embodied, MFA Thesis Exhibition, 2021

entangled // embodied was presented at Leon Gallery in Denver in June 2021 as part of the artist’s MFA Thesis. The show investigates the tangible relationships humans share with their immediate natural surroundings mitigated through the intangible lens of memory. The visuals throughout this series of works contemplate the nature of local versus global connections. In particular,  the reflection of intimate interconnectedness is derived from the artist's connection to the trees that once stood in front of her childhood home, the processing of grief when those trees contracted disease and were removed, and the larger global implications of mass deforestation, and how this destruction impacts our ability to breathe comfortably. The show utilizes digitally fabricated ceramics, projection mapped video art, sculptural installation, 3D scanning and animation, and augmented reality.
