Small World Results

Korinne Thoren

  Home is a reaching term that carries many different meanings dependent on one’s culture, beliefs or location in the world. Regardless of what home may be, each throughout the spectrum is rich with history. In this piece I hope to convey the complex intertwining of relationships that homes bring us—relationships of people, places, and memories. No one home can be singular and untouched because its history will always be entangled with the influences of others. Regardless of where we go, roots will sprout and begin intermingling with others.

            This piece focuses on symbolism that can be found in water in the form of a stream. A canteen is where one might keep a reserve of fresh water when going to a place where the water situation is unknown.  A reserve to keep life continuing on.            

            The installation is minimal. It simply shows a large stream of water flowing vertically through a rusted out cave-like structure down through the “gallery” floor. This stream is alive with luminosity. In this case the stream represents the illuminated continuation of life through a dark and weathered environment.

My small world installation investigates a natural environment free of fear. Many times humans cannot explore an aspect of life due to physical or mental restrictions. I am completely fascinated with the way honey bees live however I am incredibly allergic to their venom.   Through its doorway, the audience can see the inside of a hive, find peace in the natural rhythms of shape there, and smell the thick warm yellow beeswax.

This piece is my small interpretation of New Delhi. I want to overwhelm the viewer and have them experience the sights and smells I came across while abroad by paying attention to small detail and excess within the space. This piece pays homage to the chaos and excitement of India that was so contrasting to my everyday life here in the states.

All of these pieces required a good amount of patience and perseverance in the making.  I feel at times I cannot teach this but have to have faith the student will find their way to it.  I still find myself a student when I see works like :
