“Fairy glamour is the name for the magic that can turn ashes and dead leaves into enticing fruit and sparkling wine--that can metamorphose cruelty or vapidness into a lovely face of beauty. But when you eat that fruit and drink that wine in Faerie, you are still consuming ash and dead leaf. And you can never go back to the world of sun-ripened fruit and wine pressed from grapes. You may live in seeming pleasure and yet become the one that the Queen of the fairies pays as a tithe to hell.” -  Marly Youmans

Hi Sammi, How are you? What are you doing? Have you ever thought about using real live body parts in your art work? And increases the size of your art pieces to be building size?

I'm doing pretty well, considering it's finals week! I'm working on a few potentially rad pieces, including some installation art and a little bit of multimedia magic (which I'm still very new to, but I'm learning). I've wanted to include body parts into my work for a while, but I'm not about to cut off a finger, so for now I just stick to human hair (this might sound a bit weird, but I actually have a ziploc bag full of neon pink hair from when I shaved my head last month. I'm gonna use it in a collage. Or something)

As for large scale works, I'm hoping to continue increasing the scale, but there are some serious space problems that prevent me from working that large. But I really, really hope I have an opportunity to paint the side of a building (or something like that) using some handy-dandy projection mapping and a lift. I want to work on room-size interactive installations, too, but I have to start small and work my way up, I think.

This is an actual video that I actually made and actually handed in as an actual project in an actual class

I am so pleased by the level of stupid that I have achieved (ALSO shout-out to Missy for being gr8 and dancing for me)

((the song is "In Da Club" by 50cent))

WHOA I'm in another show this semester! That brings the number up to three. Not bad, eh? 

This time I'm installing a video, which will be projected onto an uneven collaged surface in the corner of the gallery. I've never done work like this before and it's really exciting, but also pretty scary.  I kinda feel like I just dove into uncharted waters without a life jacket or any knowledge of swimming
