Artist Statement for Leah Schreiber
|
|
|
My work is a consideration and investigation of the journey of physical identity. I am inspired by social consciousness and body politics, the feminine experience, and the relationship one has between their body and its surroundings. I am interested in issues related to personal boundaries, as well as cultural boundaries placed on the body, and the function of the boundary as creating dependence of one side on another for its existence. I am also interested in the concept of mapping as a record of the body’s organic nature functioning as a guided form through space and time.
Through these investments, I find myself making work that is both obsessive and organic in its forms, layers, and processes. My interest in certain materials, such as ink, translucent papers, and collage, informs and effects the development of an image, expressing concepts of reaction, repetition, and reinterpretation, which relates to the important process of tracing in my work. Tracing is a record of the past definition of a route, and a re-experience of a direction. I see my process of using tracing as following a predetermined path in order to find new ways of considering the identity of the source. &<8232;
