As We Are
As We Are features the work of artists Catarine Marchione, Elizabeth McBride, Emily Rambarran, and Lah-che Williams. As a statement of self-acceptance, discovery, and compassion towards the artist's unique identity, As We Are reflects on how childhood experience has shaped each artist. Highlighting their different experiences with anxiety and fear, romantic love, grief, and expression of identity, each of the works exhibited functions as the embodiment of distinct research practices developed by the students throughout their last year of study.
Elizabeth McBride (b. 2002) explores the way in which women are taught to view romantic and self-love. In an installation representing the childhood bedroom of her character “Daisy”, Elizabeth takes us on a journey through her life to expose the way seemingly innocuous objects associated with girlhood perpetuate cycles of harm. Through photography, video art, and book arts she creates an environment that depicts the consequences of raising young women within a patriarchal system.
