"Metamorphosis,” Jocelyn Ulevicus
We know what happened to us by the memories that live in the body; some memories are stored as complete stories, while other memories only survive as individual images, individual words or scents; a look or a touch. I experience my life in a winding, non-linear manner where—through the acts of writing and making art, I dismantle my past and my pain, and rebuild myself again and again in a seemingly endless process of breaking and becoming—this is a survivor’s life. My visual art changes, as I change. For me, the creative process, and making art, in particular, functions as language: I paint to find out what I both do and do not know. I am surprised by how much I have to say, how impulsive it is, how urgent—I paint as a celebration of my existence, as much as I paint as a direct criticism of it.
