Generative Response.

<p>Within this supporting paper, the artist discusses <em>Generative Response</em>, her Master of Fine Arts exhibition. This paper is a narrative of the artist's development, philosophies, and methodologies. Further, it illustrates how her work and development have been affected by studies in humanity, social activism, human responsibility, and environmental consciousness.</p><p><em>Generative Response</em> communicated the artist's ideology of process as metaphor for living life, involving the viewer in an "unfinished dialogue" wherein works of art undergo processes translating their role as part of a generative cycle. <em>Generative Response</em> was composed of seven sculptural components called "stations" depicting the processes of growth, habitation, consumption, erosion, and filtration. Each station operated as a micro-ecology that embodied these processes by using water literally and/or metaphorically as an agent of change.</p><p>Materials included water from a local creek, found objects, glass, ceramics, copper, live organisms, and unique clay water filters.</p>
