Epiphany Couch's Artist Statement:
I am a multidisciplinary artist exploring the magic of generational knowledge, storytelling, and our connection to the metaphysical. By recontextualizing traditional mediums such as bookmaking, photography, and sculpture, I look to present new ways through which we can examine our pasts, the natural world, and our ancestors. My work is unapologetically personal, drawing from family stories, my childhood experience, archival research, and my own dreams. I utilize the book not only as a format through which to share these stories but as a precious object — intimate and heirloom-like.
Epiphany Couch's Project/Process Statement:
The Special Box: A place that holds one’s most treasured items. It is the box that has moved with you from house to house, city to city. My special box belonged to my grandmother and it is a wonder it still exists after the many moves it’s endured. It is full of family photographs, each one a story. These stories are the inspiration for my work.
