Luminous Vessels Investigating Radiant Light in Body, Mind, and Spirit

Luminous Vessels explores works of art that manifest a desire to penetrate the mystery of what it means to be a human being, body and spirit. Through printmaking, sculpture, video installation, relational aesthetics, and performance, this project investigates concepts that relate to questions surrounding my personal experience as a woman with both physical and soulful desires. Research includes scientific investigation and theological inquiry concerning the nature of luminosity as it relates to the corporeal and spiritual qualities of a human being. My artwork documents the process of self-discovery as I explore my body within and without, and aims further to invite others to reflect on the internal and external experience of their own corporeal and metaphysical reality - to ponder more deeply their unique existence as physical and spiritual beings in the world.
