These are common phenomena of emagration\/immagration. People hold onto parts of their culture of origin and lose others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\">I envisioned a solid changing states over time. Central to the idea is the transition of matter from state to state. Set in the context of the \u00a0<em>Ah, Motherland!<\/em> residency, this action of state changing begins to imply the broader issues of changing landscapes, identities, perceptions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 12.0px Times New Roman\">I imagined a bound granulate solid\u2014 salt, sugar, or pigment\u2014being slowly dissolved by a liquid. Salt proved to be the most suitable for the metaphor because of its universal qualities. It is a common denominator. Out of fine table salt I made solid slabs. I then experimented with different methods of bringing the salt into contact with a liquid: dripping, submerging, and adding pigment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\">I decided to build a platform out of multiple slabs of salt. A block of colored ice will rest atop this structure and by simple physical change, the ice will melt and begin to dissolve the salt, carving it into a sort of landscape. Does change have to be quick, dramatic, immediate?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;line-height: 19.0px;font: 13.0px Georgia\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1394\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/1-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/1-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/1.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1395\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/2-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/2.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1397\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/4-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/4-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/4.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1398\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/5-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/5-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/5.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/6-300x221.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"300\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/6-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/6.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My proposal was to build a work that draws upon the metaphors of erosion, dissolving, transfer and, in essence, change.
