Nuthin' Lasts
Abstract
Nuthin’ Lasts is a Master of Fine Arts thesis project comprised of the dossier and exhibition documentation presented at the Artlab Gallery from June 27th to July 18th, 2024. My multidisciplinary work and related research explore connections between materiality and autoconstruction. The Comprehensive Artist Statement is the first chapter of the dossier and explores the working methods I employ within my practice, as well as my interest in temporality and historicity. I describe my process and how it integrates improvisation and transformation, as well as the importance of ephemerality. The second chapter includes documentation of my work during the MFA program and the exhibition at the Artlab The third chapter of the dossier is an interview with artist Abraham Cruzvillegas about his practice and connection to autoconstruction and ephemerality.
