hooz's multifaceted practice is oriented around object making as a form of prayer and a mode of channeling ancestral knowledge. Through installation, hooz opens portals that invite wisdom into a given space. Objects, birthed in alternate realities through ceramic handbuilding processes, are placed as evidence of otherworlds in the context of a shared human reality. hooz engages in an unending process aimed at merging and creating intersections of contrasting materials. Ceramic objects meet textiles, bone, fur, flora, and metal in the context of installations, activated by embodied entities enacting rituals, in efforts to create immersive and transformative experiences that are highly personal and spiritually activating.
Cen Freedan Orismekusa (b.1999) is a mixed-media sculptor and textile practitioner. With no formal training, their practice began with textile manipulation, using it as a medium for nonverbal communication through dress. They instinctively experimented with different textiles and materials, which led them to explore mixed-media sculpture work. Their practice is a visual journal guided by different theories of self (physical and metaphysical). The body becomes an accessory to the mind; the ego is a tool for both creation and destruction; art as a form of immortalization and the importance of private rituals. Their upbringing includes influence from Buddhism, Hinduism, and pre-colonial rituals/traditions. This allows for visual references such as deific identities and personifications of psychological states.
