Susan Swihart
Object of Beauty is a personal exploration about aging. While I feel the pressure
to capture what once was and can never be again, I also find nostalgia, deep
emotions and joy in the many objects of my past. I hold onto even the most
fragile and damaged mementos, which carry special meaning to me. Some
remind me of a loved one that I am no longer able to visit with, while others are
links to memories I am afraid to forget. As my memories fade and I struggle to
remember, this project allows me to explore how we are formed greatly by our
past, but also reminds me to allow more kindness and acceptance in my pursuit
of the unattainable. That letting go of things can free one up for new experiences
and relationships.
Especially poignant in these times, when desperate to live without constraints,
I’ve become more aware of my desire to hold onto unnecessary things. As I
struggle to purge and make room to live more freely, I acknowledge my
limitations to protect the beauty I remember.
To create these still life vignettes, I use dolls as surrogates of myself and those
that are close to me, with objects that hold profound memories and connections.
The resulting imagery allows me to explore, with humor, the changes I’m
experiencing, while highlighting the beauty in its reality.
