Stuck

Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to announce a solo exhibition for the month of September by artist Erin Kittelson: Stuck

From the Artist: “Stuck” is a body of work meant to represent my avoidant nature as a person. I am someone that freezes under pressure, often feeling as if I am a deer caught in the headlights of time and choices. Feeling as if life is passing me by as I continue to contemplate my next move. Making my decisions by not making any at all.

I am in a field that has no direct path, and the openness to possibility often feels overwhelming when it comes to head with my avoidant nature. I wanted this artwork to explore my avoidance, my freeze response to overwhelming situations, and my own mental battles with feeling as if time is passing too fast.

I want the viewers to have a feeling of being stuck themselves when they look at these pieces. Many of which use heavy and obvious patterns that you can get lost in to create this mental trap.
