Audrey An Homes in Sequence, 2020 ceramics, wood, raspberry Pi & LED 50 x 96 x 15 inches I am a Third Culture Kid. Having spent a significant part of my developmental years moving between South Korea and the United States, I developed a sense of relationship to both. Growing up in two distinct cultures, forced me into socio-psychological liminality. I make work that examines this in-betweenness seeking the positive. Through shifting the scale, pattern, and repetition of ceramic modules, I navigate my “past and present” and my “here and there” to locate my sense of belonging. I interpret and hybridize my understanding of architecture and topography to create a visual mapping of places I once inhabited. Examining personal history and identity, I pay homage to the historical precedent of the fabricated and natural landscapes created with clay. By digitally cutting up, collaging, and handsculpting, I aspire to create reflections of my identity to speak about my experience from the boundaries of cultural convergence. audreyan.com
