Caroline McClellan, Student Work

This work is a response to a mass held in St. Augustine on September 8th, 1565 by Father Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales. After studying paintings and drawings depicting the event, I decided to focus on the idea of rituals within a ceremony and created a large scale object to represent this moment. The mass was held outside, with ceremonial objects placed on a large, wood table.  The large, box form appears weighted and heavy. The top area depicts "traces" of ritualistic objects: candles, a bible, and a monstrance. The labyrinth is significant as it communicates ritualistic undertones. The box sits perfectly in the center of the labyrinth, highlighting its central importance to the concept of a mass celebration.

Experiments in Resistance
		In this body of work, entitled Experiments in Resistance, I press under-glazed and fired clay slabs into ceramic troughs containing wet, usually dyed cement. The clay is pressed at various depths and at different times in the cement's drying time, allowing me to study a vocabulary of haptic pressure as well as the displacement caused from a soft collision between material bodies. I am searching for a concrete archive of resistance, refusal, and displacement as it emerges from the body, and before it becomes connected to language, thoughts, belief systems, and conflict. My materials - clay and concrete - belong both to domesticity and to war. What are the ways in which consequence and impact are physically entwined? What are the traces left in our impressions? What does the memory or record of a body's displacement reveal in its wake? http://www.fawnkrieger.com/experimentsinresistance.html
