I have gathered observations from many different areas of my life. From these clues, I came to understand that I was primarily interested in the way that perception and personal placement in a space (or in a situation) influence and define experience.</p><p>This new artistic focus had a surprising and dramatic impact on my work. My conception of art and artistic production changed. Aspects of the work that I had previously accepted as issues of representation were explored and redefined as issues of experience, perception, and placement.</p><p>As I worked with these new issues, I embraced the idea that art can be an experience rather than an image. Before I knew it this idea stimulated a shift in the format of my work, and I found myself producing installation works that interact in (and with) actual three-dimensional spaces.</p><p>These installations demonstrate a clear break with my previous work. Rather than presenting an image, they challenge perceptual and psychological qualities of actual space. They also disturb common expectations of an art object, its placement and the traditional role of art. It is my hope that they successfully communicate the way that perception and placement in a space (or in a situation) influence and define personal experience.</p> 2001 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1328031873 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1328031873 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
