Abstract
In this MFA thesis paper I discuss my art work as displayed in the Museum of Art at Washington State University April 10-May 9, 2015, and the process that lead to its creation. The work is primarily autobiographical and represents an exploration into the discernment of truth by examining the creation of identity through place. Beginning by discussing place and its hold onto the formation of the self, I look to create paintings that become a representation and reflection on this hold. Next, by thinking about the medium of paint and its connections to my identity as a response to a contemporaneous view of the world. Lastly I explore the aspect of discovery and the linkage between thinking and making in the studio, concluding that in order to process and fully understand the world around me, the work I make is an examination of that process and understanding. That examination of place and the self yields deeper meaning in the work and, ultimately, truth.
