Abstract

Liminality is a thesis show where I recontextualize my past in the present. It consists ofpieces of artwork that call attention to our memories and how they alter and shape us over time, question family portraiture and show how art can be used for self-discovery and as a catharsis. This paper analyzes myself as an artist, my process, my work in the M.F.A. program and, ultimately, my thesis show.
