Curatorial Statement

Title: A Wave of Emotions

Water is not simply a liquid. It is so much more! I chose to focus on how water can play the role of a main character in pieces of art. It can show itself in so many ways. I have chosen to show it expressed, through six different artwork selections from five different artists, in three different forms: frightening, calming and neutral. These artwork selections show how water is a force in our environment and in our lives that can affect our emotions. Sometimes water can be rough and make us feel worried. Sometimes water can be still and make us feel peaceful. Sometimes water can make us feel a combination of all of these feelings or neither.

Water variation, and how it makes me feel, is the theme. This guided me in choosing the artwork selections in this exhibition. It also guided me to choose the exhibition space, which is an aquarium display. I wanted the pieces of artwork to be gathered in a place where water is usually held and where water is expected to be seen. I am actually afraid of being in water, but I also think that water is very beautiful to look at. I feel like all of the six pieces of art embodied my theme as water was shown from different emotional angles. They all stood out in their own way, but I felt they worked well together too. When I was picking out the artwork selections, I felt intensity from some, tranquility from some, and then a mixture of in between from others. Putting all of the six artwork selections together made me feel like I was looking at something bigger than it was. I feel that my exhibition captured a range of sentiments, and this is what I was trying to accomplish. I hope that the audience will feel moved in the same way as I was!
