MBA/Monkey My mind thinks like she has an MBA – she thinks within a box. My mind is also a monkey. She leaps and jumps from one branch to the next and talks about everything she finds interesting – be it an animal, a leaf, or even a dried-up puddle. She’s always talking, and she always makes sense. But when she tries to tell me what to do with all of it, I think, what the hell is going on? My collection of work asks my MBA brain to shut up and let my monkey talk. Grounded in the now, it is designed to engage people around my own age – maybe even a few years younger. It explores the different, mish-mashed ways I can use to talk to people about the things bubbling in my head – from the perceptions people have towards my animals, to having to pick one concrete thing to pursue for life. I try not to make sense of any of my thoughts, or to give them a definite form, but to allow meaning to grow through combinations of the different ways of communicating that I find interesting. My only goal is to create something that can stick around long enough to start conversations and interactions around it.
