Becoming Home

Artist Statement – Brandon Geiselhart

Becoming Home is a series of suspended, organic sculptures that reflect my journey of spiritual freedom, emotional reclamation, and creative embodiment. The work began with a vision I received in late 2024, shortly after moving into my first apartment - a space where, for the first time, I felt safe to exist fully as myself. I immediately saw what this work could become, and I knew it was important. But then my life unraveled - my job, my relationships, the entire structure of my external world collapsed. I entered a period of deep inner work: meditation, nervous system regulation, and radical self-honesty. What began as a playful, intuitive vision remained protected in my heart until I had done the inner work required to bring it through.

These pieces are constructed from papier-mâché clay, epoxy resin, pigment, alcohol ink, glitter, sand, polymer clay, synthetic hair, and illusion cord. Each one is suspended - alive, raw, and strange. Some suggest shelter, some feel like seeds or growths, and others hover in a space of ambiguity. They were born not from chaos, but from what came after it: presence. By the time I began creating in mid-2025, I had chosen myself so fully that making this work felt like the next natural breath. These works are physical manifestations of that becoming. They hold my frequency. They are my vibration made visible.

To become home is to return to the truth of who I am - to build safety, love, queerness, and creative power from the inside out. This work is a mirror of that return. It is not just about place; it’s about presence. Becoming Home is a celebration of what it means to feel safe enough to let love play - to build an ecosystem where form, frequency, and freedom converge. These sculptures do not ask to be fully understood. They ask to be felt, witnessed, and lived with.
