Draw@MOCA: Sarah Hobbs
Psychological Space
Whether we are always aware of it or not, the space around us is filtered through our psychological makeup. “Place” has a feeling, and it is put there through our experiences and our inner selves. With this in mind, guests will create a small three-dimensional space that examines a psychological state. Using boxes, paper, small objects, as well as incorporating drawings. Finally, the scenes will be photographed to create the final piece – an image that represents a state of mind.
