Title	Pause: An Exhibition of Relationships Between Body, Place, and Sculpture
Artist	Hopson, Melissa
Advisor	Nordgulen, Eric
Year Degree Granted	2015
Degree Earned	M.F.A.
Degree Grantor	Indiana University
Abstract	Presenting sculpture in public spaces allows for the material world to maintain constant interactions with live audiences. This relationship keeps the body in motion as it moves through space in and around architecture and through landscapes stopping to rest or to engage with the environment. For instance, one of my early peculiar encounters with drawing was leaving my bedroom one morning and discovering a pencil-sketched portrait of my father taped to the closet door in the hallway. This letter sized image kept me from moving on to the dining room as I stopped to inspect its content. The fact that it was a drawing and not a sculpture is insignificant, nevertheless the presentation of the portrait conveniently placed at eye level left me feeling stunned and amused. Furthermore, engagement with art, for me, has always been closely tied to investigation and discovery while coming closer to material and the information that lies within and around it.
