What began as an autobiographical project, with the idea of self as the audience became a way to selflessly offer others the experience of the author. This particular experience is that of the author’s recovery from, and coexistence with drug addiction. Drawing influence from religious iconography such as the mandala and other related yantra, the visual research born of this project is designed to metaphorically guide viewers through a sampling of recovery related practices, developed as the author has learned to coexist with addiction. The visual works serve as a daily reminder to the author of the work necessary for continued coexistence with addiction. These works are likewise designed as offerings of experience, strength, and hope to other addicts seeking recovery. It is an ongoing design project that is paradoxically selfish (in that it exists to serve the author) and selfless (in that it exists to be of service to others). It is Autobiography as Service. 2013-06-13 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1366632739 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1366632739 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
