Monique Resnick often ponders whether anxiety and depression are the result of our brain make up or social constructs. Play Prevents Panic explores ideas of aging and stress, as we grow older we deal with the complexities of ‘real life,’ problems occur daily that must be dealt with and eventually solved. This piece uses modelling clay, a childlike material that speaks to the idea of leisure and childhood. The actual making of this piece was therapeutic for Resnick, molding the clay and using my hands to explore heavy topics.
