Dichotomy

This piece was mainly inspired by museum displays of dissection that feature whole specimens. Traditional dissection diagrams were often detailed, featuring many different descriptions of certain parts. I wanted to represent this by creating a space that resembled the same atmosphere of a museum, equipped with viewing tables and fossilized creatures. I created "amoeba"-like specimens out of air-dry porcelain clay. I built wooden boxes and painted them white to act as extensions of the wall itself. The panels on the wall worked as the diagrams that described the inside of the air-dry porcelain specimens. I'm pleased with the way these turned out because it was exactly how I'd imagined it in my head.

As time has passed, I've learned what it means to be in pain, as well as being relieved of it. When I was in the darkest part of my life, pain was something I felt I deserved. I had been forced into thinking that everything was my fault. I thought that he was demonstrating how much he cared whenever he put his hands on me. I didn't see it as a bad thing at the time -- just normal. Touch, at this time, was sharp; violent and difficult for me to wra...
