Being * Becoming * Growing: A Journey of Artist Identity | Chris Omni

Chris Omni (Tallahassee, FL) | Exchange (Kansas City) | October 2021

Chris Omni explored her artist identity through found objects from North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. This piece represents her growth process of moving from a 20+ year career in public health into a new, August 2020, identity as an artist.

Being * Becoming * Growing is in direct communication with her second piece, Isolation * Invitation * Inclusion; however this piece speaks to her extroverted side. A side that has been traditionally front, center, and literally on stage. Omni created this site specific installation as a reminder of how we present to others and how we even frame our identities, even if it is not who we are at the core.

Through this introspective creation, Chris Omni discovered a new dimension of herself and weaved it into the piece while dancing with the energy of the sacral chakra mantra, “I love all dimensions of myself. I delight in weaving the creative tapestry that is my life.” Being * Becoming * Growing invites YOU to look at your journey and grow in the direction that breathes life to your soul. Ase.
