Loops of Origin: S(kin)dred
Art by Ashlynn Doljac
Artist's statement: Bessel Van der Kolk wrote The Body Keeps the Score, and I want to ask,who is winning?Loops of Origin: S(kin)dred is a multi-media installation that weaves together spoken word, sculpture, and light to create an immersive experience encapsulating memory, trauma, and addiction. The work is a test of the tribulating nature of navigating both loss & grief, while reflecting on experiences that haunt and loom both brain and body. I am curiously confronting the nature of intergenerational trauma, femineity, and the fragile tensions between addictions and bodily afflictions. The work is a comment on, and testament to the nature of trauma as a living entity, and translating the experience into visceral entanglement...
