Artist statement

Arisa... This exhibition/piece I am displaying today honestly feels like a

marriage between my older selves and my current self or like sitting in
an awkward room after arguing with your sibling. My pieces today for
String Theory are made within the time span of 30 days, made after
deciding I’m going to do an art exhibit. With the theme of String Theory,
I connected my feelings of concepts of essence and life within non-
organic objects. My works are romantic/fictional story telling/depictions
of if human feelings shaped the form of an object. (As most fictional
stories do.) But these essences/panpsychic perspectives bounce off the
different objects in the works, and do not stay at one piece. They
change trajectory, betraying and shifting as it reveals it self. I hope that
when you see my pieces, you aren’t trying to decipher them, but rather
sit with them, and engage with them in a soft passive way like you
would with the quiet kid in class. These pieces are moving and volatile,
shaking and silent, but need the right amount of pressure to be
grounded. Sit with them, and hopefully you could remember them too.

Sara... String Theory follows the concept of translating what has been
recorded on a 2 dimensional into textiles. Using thread, the basic unit of
a textile, you can witness the paper fibers struggle mid-transformation,
a road, the map route, musical frequencies of a harmony, the turbulence
of an overnight flight across the globe, a ribbon, a fine thread. In a
symphony of sound and movement treading through the dimensions of
space and time. This idea for this exhibit was born out of direct
thoughts and feelings I had towards my art. Up to this point, my quest
was to translate myself -> art. Now that I figured that out, my main
quest would be to translate my art -> fashion. To do that, I decided to
break it down and focus on working with textiles first. Doing this exhibit
at this point in my life gave me a reason to keep creating despite all the
obstacles, it kept me grounded when I needed it most.
