Lafayette, LA
Balance and a sense of place are achieved through Kristicevich's use of natural materials in her eco-installations. She approaches her intuitive art-making process with an ephemeral philosophy, playing with the interconnection of nostalgic objects and textures that evokes a sense of place. Kristicevich is interested in creating a connection between the viewer and the textural nostalgia conjured up by the objects within the installation.The process of collecting natural materials and the geographical location of the objects are very informative and play an integral part in her work. She uses the natural lines and textures of these found objects to create a nest-like shape that can be interpreted as a visual metaphor for reflecting on the past and the concept of home. A native of Southern Louisiana, she received her BFA from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2005 and a Certification in Regenerative and Ecological Design from ECOSA Institute in Prescott, Arizona in 2010.
