cynthiamyron.com: Artist Statement

Ordinary, mundane, and common spaces act as expressive vehicles for the human body and mind. Because of this, I create a dialogue between humans and their intimate architectural spaces, usually the home. “Home” often times acts a symbol of safety and shelter. I use this idea of home and translate it into packaged form, stripped down bare and forced into a portable and playful form, much like a collage, curiosity cabinet or relic.

Within these pieces whether sculptural, functional or wearable, seemingly ordinary spatial elements such as moldings, cedar shakes or windows become materialistically empty yet narrative when view together as specimens. As homes and people grow and change in form, the idea of “home” easily becomes a part of everyday consumerism much like society’s convenience or material compulsions. Homes are recycled and devoured as spaces for safety, comfort and even self worth.
