Studio visit with Third-year Kayla Brown who is working on her upcoming Thesis show!
“My work seeks to protect, enlighten and discover what healing can be when silence is chosen. I create immersion art objects and experiences that seek to question and understand my childhood experiences. Experiences of hoarding, suppression of the self, and treatment of love accompanied with hate. My material serves as a metaphor for the fragility of paper and my concept of trauma. I transform the materials state in a cycle manor, continuous and unfixed, allowing the cycle to begin a new with what was transforming it into what could be instead the fixed broken generational cycle of my family lineage. I transform and explore the tensions of what remains of myself, th3 objects, and the dynamics of famial relationships, into something that heals. I confront the silence, the suppression of the self in a place that should have been safe by using a public space as a site of healing and reprieve. Free to question the restrictions, the objects, the love and hate as I end the cycle.”
