Ontogenesis

Abstract

When one experiences place, do they comprehend what they are experiencing and think nothing of it, or do they find themselves lost in their own contemplations of place? In my research, I will discuss the importance of place and how it is a mirrored developed experience with that of the city and of self. This is done through the notions of space, place, and time. I have painstakingly constructed a body of work that relates these three important factors of humankind's growth and experience through the use of ceramics, wood, and other mixed media materials. It is my intention to bring to light the systems in which this mirrored development exists. Each section interweaves my own personal experiences. Interweaving research I have done through phenomenology, urban planning and human develop[ment].
