Monique Resnick often ponders whether anxiety
and depression are the result of our brain makeup or
social constructs. Play Prevents Panic explores ideas
of aging and stress. As we grow older we deal with the
complexities of 'real life,' and 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, who moulded
the clay and used her hands to explore heavy topics.
