Olivia Savage

"Predominantly in the form of performance, sculpture or
printmaking, my practice explores the notion of the inner
self. The recognition of “self” may come natural to some
but exist as somewhat of an enigma to others. For me,
it is an ongoing investigation. I embark on journeys that
allow me to spend time with materials, focusing on the
involvement and disruption of myself with them. Having
experienced anxiety in different forms throughout my life,
I have undergone therapies that exposed my emotions and
implemented methods that put me in touch with them, in
an attempt to come to understand and cope with them.
My approach to the idea of self focuses on the element of
thinking known as the subconscious.
I use therapeutic techniques to tread along this bridge that
lies between the conscious and subconscious. By
balancing on this tightrope, I bring uncertainty to the
certain and celebrate uncomfortability."
