A peculiar nature of intuition
Elyse-Krista Mische

Mar 31 – May 28, 2023
3rd Floor Shattuck & GNC Galleries

Elyse-Krista Mische was a 2022 Trout Museum of Art Artist in Residence. Throughout her 3-month residency at TMA, she created a body of work that explores concepts of morality, life, and death.

Like a detective uses clues to solve a problem, I use creative practice and symbolism to gain insight into the mysteries of death. Driven by intuition, I simultaneously know nothing and something. With certainty, death is heavy. We understandably push it aside or attempt to steer clear of its weight. Through multimedia couplings of common objects and archetypes such as birds, flowers, circles, and stars; topics of mortality become lighter, as to be gently eased out of the subconscious and into the forefront of the conscious. Ultimately the impermanence of life, the inevitability of death, and the possibilities of an afterlife, can be components of ordinary conversation. I invite you to pause, to recognize the familiar, consider the peculiar, and use your subjectivity to both personally and collectively reflect on what it means to be here now… and maybe later in some nature of transcendence.

TMA’s Artist in Residence Program provides artists with the opportunity to invest time in their work and take it to the next level through exploration and experimentation. These artists each explored different ideas, objectives, influences, and mediums that resulted in fabulous bodies of work.

TMA’s Artist in Residence Studios are located on the 5th floor, along with TMA’s Education Center.
