Artist Statement
Right now, you may be looking at this work and thinking that it is an exhibition of very expensive fidget spinners. In a way, you may be right. But allow me to convince you why they are much more than that. My research focuses on creating wearable, functional, works that inspire curiosity and heals the body. As opposed to the repetitive nature of a fidget spinner in which the outcome is always the same, the outcome of interacting with my work is more fluid. Each time you interact with one of these rings, something different happens; much like solving a puzzle, the first moments of the creative process, and play. These experiences undo the negative effects of stress on the body and help the body heal.
By doing something we have never done before and pausing to consider something, our brains create new neural connections. New connections promote brain health. This, in turn, helps our body stay healthy longer and decreases the chance of developing autoimmune diseases, mental illness, Dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Creative explorations also improve relaxation while simultaneously acting in the mind as a simulant which fuels imagination and creativity while enhancing problem solving skills and improving emotional well-being. Studies have proven that adult play increases joy, relieves stress, supercharges learning, and makes work more productive and pleasurable. Each of these pieces strive to give the wearer new and creative experiences each time it is worn, bringing health and joy.
