Abstract
Four days before I began Herron’s graduate program, my close friend, and former boss, Ed Funk committed suicide. This event would forever influence my graduate research and my artwork. I began to search for a deeper understanding of life through the pursuit to tell a story and a desire to explore new materials. Up to this point, painting had primarily dominated my approach to art. The goal of my Master’s work was to break through the divisions of artistic medium and discover an overarching theme that would refine myself as an artist independent of medium.
