A series of sculptures, Where the Heart Is, reflects on abruptly severed romantic bonds and unfulfilled familial roles. Drawing influence from Louise Bourgeois'' and Janine Antoni''s mode of working, this project delves into autobiographical instances of psychological trauma resulting from broken relationships. Contrasting household items with materials of value, the sculptures that constitute Where the Heart Is simultaneously celebrate the idea of home and mourn its absence. The dichotomies of hope and futility thread through the imagery and materiality I choose to work with. Materials that refer to the domestic realm conjure ideas of home and family, but I distort their usual function by altering them to create sculptures. This distortion of the material''s original function suggests that what I value is currently unattainable; these materials are superfluous. I select sheets, dining room chairs, molding, and pillows, which display experience and use. The sadly majestic sculptures, whether boat, ladder, or shrine, enable these worn items to transcend their innate banality. While these materials are not specific or personal, they suggest an intimate and shared experience. I am creating a fictitious past, or thinking about a family structure that I have not participated in. I emphasize home and family to make them seem as valuable as I imagine they could have been, and could potentially be. This project embodies an attempt to reconcile past emotional and psychological pain with the present. By encompassing formal and conceptual dichotomies, Where the Heart Is asks the viewer to ponder the potential of domestic experience, as well as melancholy caused by absence of this shared experience. Through juxtaposition of material and form, the work evokes questions of how to negotiate possibility and futility, hope and sorrow within the traditional familial realm.

The Instituto Nacional de Cinema Educativo (1936-1966) was a Brazilian organization created by the state to produce educational films which promoted learning and inquiry through nationalistic themes and topics. State-sponsored educational cinema was presented as a medium to advocate social betterment and civic engagement through education as well as being a vehicle to promote the ideals and politics of the state. To accomplish these goals, the state unsuccessfully co-opted the domestic commercial industry and its resources in an attempt to establish educational cinema as the national genre. However, state-sponsored educational cinema was an unsustainable venture as the state failed to recognize the fragile structure of the Brazilian commercial industry, the preferences of the internal market, and the influence and domination of foreign studios over the domestic market and industry, failing to create a cohesive Brazilian cinematic industry and voice. This study analyzes the emergence, purpose, and eventual failure of state-sponsored educational cinema by examining the economic treatises and dependency which inhibited industrialization, the circumstances under which educational cinema and the institute emerged, an overview of the history, goals, and challenges of the institute to effectively incorporate educational cinema into the social and cultural fabric of the country, and how the institute''s productions reflected these objectives and contributed to the Brazilian cinematic history and cannon.

As the baby boomer population continues to age, the number of older adults in the United States continues to rise as well, which has and will continue to result in an ongoing increase in the nursing home population. Challenges in nursing home care include assuring the provision of comprehensive quality care, person centered care, and continuity of care. This DNP project evaluated a comprehensive template for nurse practitioners to use when completing monthly nursing home visits that would help address these challenges. The purpose of this project was to evaluate nurse practitioner satisfaction regarding the effectiveness of the tool in assuring comprehensive, quality and patient centered care when completing monthly nursing home visits. This was accomplished via a descriptive analysis of 10 nurse practitioners providing care in nursing homes. A Likert scale questionnaire was used before and after the nurse practitioners used the tool for a period of two months. All 10 participants agreed or strongly agreed that they would recommend the tool for use by nurse practitioners when completing monthly nursing home visits. Seven of the participants agreed or strongly agreed that the tool helped improve overall quality of the visit. The results demonstrated that the monthly nursing home assessment tool was beneficial in improving the quality of the visits and that there are future implications for use of the tool by not only nurse practitioners who practice in this setting but also for nurse practitioner students and physicians.
