The reception last Friday was a success. We had a huge turn out, the food was amazing (thanks Shanell), and everyone had a great time. Thank you again everyone who helped make it fantastic.

Statement
- My interest in art has always been the intrinsic value a piece has as an object, rather than the message it carries. I am also intrigued by history, be it the history of our own world or a fictional one. These two concepts have impelled me to view and create art that has meaning due to its place in a historical context, to see “art” as “artifact.” This process has culminated in Monument, a series of artifacts that are ensconced in an implied history.
- Historically, monuments enshrine identity into cultural memory, preserving the legitimacy of a people through a shared history, be it actual or constructed. As archaeological objects, monuments can possess a dichotomy in their storytelling: on one hand, they can reveal characteristics of a civilization, while on the other hand they can be riddled with mystery. It is this contrast in which Monument engages – revealing an event whose meaning has been long since forgotten.
I am so freaking proud of you! You worked so hard and your show was nothing short of amazing. It was great to see so many supportive friends and family- many of whom traveled a bit to be there. Also, the food wasn't too shabby if I do say so myself. =)
