WHEN: September 2023
WHERE: Saranac Art Projects
OVERVIEW
In this new work, I Am What I Am Becoming, Kalin explores memory and identity. Materials used were collected over 20 years by Kalin's late father, whose hobby was to scavenge through second-hand stores searching for wool shirts among other things. By reconstructing the wool shirts into new forms Kalin touches on the meaning of memories and how they shape who we are in the present. These new forms weave different elements together searching for threads of meaning that may reveal hints or clues supporting Kalin's inquiry as they visually obscure or hide unrealized truths. Kalin hopes that embedded in the work is a place where viewers can investigate and create their own narratives through photographs, sculpture and installation art that provoke thoughts of who you are and who you are becoming.
