Abstract
My honors thesis has taken the form of my BFA show "At The Threshold" exhibited at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art in combination with my research of various theories which have informed my body of work. My work has been guided primarily by theories relating to the uncanny and liminality in built environments, and my influences include Sigmund Freud and Ernst Jentsch's individual theories of the uncanny; the popularization of the online "liminal space" aesthetic; and clinical psychological studies of liminal spaces. In this paper, I will touch on each of these influences, and finish with a discussion of how my research has informed my art and my relationship to my audience. Keywords: painting, liminal, liminality, liminal space, psychoanalytic, uncanny, psychology, architecture, built environment, internet, Reddit
