Memento:
Title: George
Materials: Zebra wood, wood glue, and beeswax finish.
Dimensions: 4" by 4"
Artist Statement: When I was just a junior in high school, I went through one of the most emotionally frustrating situations; one of my dear friends took his life. I was so young and have never gone through a major loss like this. My mind was confused on what feelings to feel at one time, or all at once. I created a small wooden sculpture made of thinly cut pieces of zebra wood into different shapes and layered to represent all of the emotion. I also designed it to be small enough to fit in the palm of someones hand, with their fingers closed. I feel like this helped me demonstrate the message that suicide is such a personal experience to go though. Everyone deals with it differently, and it affects everyone in different ways.
