Abstract

Works cited: pages 31-32 "Chaos and control are polar human experiences. Neither evoke a positive state, yet wefind ourselves straddling between the two as we attempt to grasp that which is elusive, therebycreating anxiety. We can, however, escape our mental constraints by succumbing to theuniverses will. This internalized struggle and realization led me to seek Eastern philosophies asan outlet to higher truth. Buddhist Monk, Thich Nhat Hanh teaches, 'Our suffering has thecapacity of showing us the path to liberation. Embrace your suffering and let it reveal to you theway to peace.' Our polarities lead to suffering, but if we use pain to mend and grow, we becomemore beautiful beings. I embrace this doctrine as I make art, ultimately finding clarity byintuitively making work. For my thesis, I created pieces using materials that spoke to thisrelationship and guide the viewer to their own search for acceptance." Keywords: painting, abstract, indigo, shibori, Wabi Sabi, Reiki, transience, Alzheimers Disease, death.Advisors/Committee Members: CHAIR: Brown, Michael V., Lollis, Cynthia, Parker, Suellen.
