Kiana Lamberton BFA General Fine Arts Thesis Spring 2021

This body of work stems from previous research and original notions developed from the research and concepts outlined in my thesis proposal, but it evolved into an exploration of ecofeminist theories and nostalgic moments from my personal life. It is somewhat of a departure from my thesis proposal but at its essence it is a continuation of the same line of research.

I continued to consider the greater implications of each material I experimented with- still thinking about the idea that every object has a life cycle. I started with the vessel as a basis for this project, which I further examined through reading Ursula Le Guin’s essay, The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction. This prior idea I had developed of the “vessel” was reformed from an object that was more oriented around being a product into an entity that could weave together concepts of human values and the way we interact with the natural world.

In creating a narrative for the materials I used, I sought to honor their place in the world, and what they gave to me so that I could create this work.
