I'm still eating crayons.

im still eating crayons serves as a reflection on past events experienced in trying conditions after many years of rumination. The title itself is derived from my childhood inclination towards physically experiencing color and texture via chewing on crayons. An inclination that I still experience today; a wish to chew on what captivates me and break it down over time within, so that I may discover a deeper connection with those objects, ideas, and concepts. Not all made discoveries were victories, nor do they place my conscious in a better position than it was at the height of my past confusions. However, the acknowledgment of the past now offers extended clarity mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally through a reparative lens. This exhibition is that acknowledgment, orchestrated in the only way I can currently imagine. It has been designed to grow, be destroyed, re-purposed, and re-imagined as many times as necessary to keep up with the momentum of life, as new understandings arise.

Abstract

im still eating crayons serves as a reflection on past events experienced in trying conditions after many years of rumination. The title itself is derived from my childhood inclination towards physically experiencing color and texture via chewing on crayons. An inclination that I still experience today; a wish to chew on what captivates me and break it down over time within, so that I may discover a deeper connection with those objects, ideas, and concepts. Not all made discoveries were victories, nor do they place my conscious in a better position than it was at the height of my past confusions. However, the acknowledgment of the past now offers extended clarity mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally through a reparative lens. This exhibition is that acknowledgment, orchestrated in the only way I can currently imagine. It has been designed to grow, be destroyed, re-purposed, and re-imagined as many times as necessary to keep up with the momentum of life, as new understandings arise.
