    Installation as a Sensory Vessel
    (2017) Sciore-Jones, Elizabeth J.; Winship, Andrew
    The tectonic plates of earth are in constant movement, floating on magma. The earth cracks and presses, creating mountain ranges and valleys. Water rushes in filling the crevasses, changing jagged bedrock into smooth curves, turning the seabed into a dry salt covered desert. The shift of the earth can be felt and the object-hood of a mountain range cannot be denied. Our origins are buried deep in the earth, creating a relationship between the self and the flesh of existence. The sensing matter of humanity is apodictic; confirmation is received from the nervous system as it interacts with primal environments, symbols, textures, and sounds. This information is processed phenomenologically, shaping how we think, communicate, and develop. As our contemporary minds grow further away from our intuition, we must look to the roots of our origin stories and how they merge withour modern sense of the sublime. I connect our contemporary phenomenological awareness to the primal origins of Earth, and humanity by utilizing video mapping, sound, sculptural paper-making and installation. Through this connection, I create sensory experiences to increase the viewer's awareness to their physical body and its causation.
