Carrie Ohm

My work begins with objects. Sometimes it centers around objects. The work becomes exciting when stories start to integrate with and develop through these objects. I begin the process of investigation from observations of things in my daily life. I use the objects I observe as a sort of mnemonic device or marker for my thoughts, like a buoy. The objects lead me to their meanings as stories develop around them. Discerning meanings as the objects take shape is an integral part of my working process. This way of working allows me to keep my thoughts moving. A major theme of my work has revolved around the idea of holding on and letting go. In these new pieces, I used the small scale as an opportunity to work through some painted and illustrated ideas and realize them in 3D. These ideas are landscapes that try to capture a moment of passing through to hold on to memories and words that try to reconcile the weight of excess and current events.
