SUMMARY:Cherish LIZ MOYER
DESCRIPTION:Located in the Reading Room (Small Wall Gallery). \nShow Statement \nCherish (2022) is a collection of interactive soft sculptures that seek to ask “How do we view end-of-life planning?” Death is a universal experience\, and yet remains in many ways a taboo conversation topic. These works are derived from questions of why we collectively struggle to talk openly about death and dying\, and how that impacts the quality of our death. By shifting the lens of how we have these conversations\, from one of discomfort and foreboding to instead an act of love for those around us\, these pieces consider what a more communal\, open approach might look like. Combining circuit driven interactive elements with traditional quilting aesthetics\, these pieces are driven by human touch and exploration. Quilting becomes a metaphor in these works for what end-of-life could be. Life is in some ways like a quilt\, made up of pieces or moments that combine to create a whole mosaic of experience; why not treat death the same way? By planning for end-of-life you are creating a warm\, comforting legacy to be there when you are no longer able to be.  \n  \nArtist Bio \nLiz Moyer is a graphic designer living in Ames\, IA. Born in South Dakota in 1990\, she perused a degree in Printmaking from the University of South Dakota\, before resettling in Seattle\, WA. After several years working in the arts in Washington state\, she returned to school to pursue a Master’s degree in Graphic Design. Liz is currently an MFA candidate set to complete her degree in the spring of 2022.
