Art Project # 5 - Sabrina and Corina
Artist Statement:
I created this piece of art with the intention portraying Sierra’s dreamy reverie of her mother. The quote is from Anstine’s story “Sugar Babies” and the photo was taken by me from the top of Twin Sisters Peak. I thought the idea of a distant view of Denver would resonate with the viewer and think about SIerra’s relationship with her mother. I like that the photo incorporates both the city of Denver as well as some sun rays.
Sabrina and Corina
Kali Fajardo-Anstine’s Sabrina and Corina brilliantly portrayed the inviolable strength of women in her book of short stories. The author imparts profound and poignant tellings, creating a memorable and visceral response for the reader. The works “Sugar Babies”, “Sisters”, and “Sabrina and Corina” all feature strong women as the protagonist and display a powerful and self reliant individualism in the characters. “Sugar Babies” examines normative gender roles within a familial structure, as two young classmates are tasked with taking care of a bag of sugar as if it were their own child. The story goes on to investigate the structure of parenthood, reflecting on both the school assignment and Sierra’s maternal upbringing. “Sabrina and Corina” propounds two entirely different approaches a patriarchal society by exploring the relationship between two cousins. Sabrina, who was once beautiful and lively, falls victim to alcohol abuse and the violent predation of men, while Corina rejects both influences. Anstine’s “Sisters” is another story of strong feminine energy that follows the story of sisters Tina and Doty.
One minute performance
For my one minute performance I decided to draw something, I drew Princess Hibana from the anime that I’m watching Fire Force , I enjoy drawing and it’s one of my favorite hobbies, may not be one of my best but I really liked it.
Song: Tank!-Seatbelts
Ps: i forgot my pen for the outline lol.
STIMULATION
This video was meant to be aim towards the feeling of wanting constant stimulation. Recently, I’ve sometimes noticed, or felt, that I have been caught in a sort of trance of wanting consistent entertainment. Sometimes it seems like I obsessively scroll through my phone, play movies, or re-watch shows that I’ve seen too many times already; not for any reason in particular, but just because I have this urge to do so. I think this constant “need” for stimulation, and maybe even escape, is “sucking me in” and then draining me of my energy or even my life in a way.

Mental Health
For This assignment I was a little lost at first I wasn’t sure what I could or couldn’t do with this assignment and then I realised that I wanted to do something that spoke to me and that multiple people could relate to. This piece is about mental heath and the different things that people go through. I go through depression and anxiety and in this position is when all the worst things you could think of come to mind when you just feel very overwhelmed with everything. For some this could be a moment of peace from whatever is going on in there life and for others it could be the feeling of loneliness. I made this artwork because I struggled a lot through quarantine and am still suffering from what might happen and not caring enough to caring about everything and not doing anything. To me this video speaks volume.
In elementary school, the kids who could solve the Rubik’s cube were without question the smartest and coolest kids around. How could a third grader figure out a puzzle that it took a month for its own creator to solve? The answer: its easy. Algorithms have been developed to solve any Rubik’s cube with ease in under minutes, and if someone took a few hours to memorize them, (they’re easier to memorize than it seems) any cube can be solved easily.
Although the kids that understood how to solve it technically were solving it, the fact that they were projecting that they were smarter than everyone else always rubbed me the wrong way because I knew that one didn’t have to be particularly smart to solve a Rubik’s cube, and most of them only learned to solve one because it would make them look smart rather than for the puzzle itself. To me this was as close to lying as one could get without explicitly lying, because they never explained that it was, in fact, very easy to solve, leaving that information out so people would assume they were a genius. In my performance I mimicked this behavior. If someone were to look at the video, they might believe that I actually did solve the cube blindfolded, and assume that I was pretty smart based off of this. But, as previously stated, anyone could make the video I did if they googled “how to solve a Rubik’s cube” and pretended to be blindfolded.
Artist Statement: Project 4
For this project I wanted to use ambiguity to convey an idea. Looking out over the city led to me thinking about all those who are suffering right now. The recent rise of Covid cases in Denver reminded me how many people have been affected world wide. The numbers are astounding and reflected on the piece of paper in the video. The first number represents the total number of global cases and the second number represents total deaths. I chose to make the video simple and tracked to somber music to convey the emotions that I’m sure we’re all feeling these days.
Technical Exercise 4: Richard Serra’s Verb List
Reading Response 4
Roselee Goldberg’s essay, Performance: A Hidden History, provided rich details regarding the audience-performer relationship. I found her thoughts on performance art within Futurism captivating because it put much of the movement into perspective. I had previously read Marinetti’s “Foundation and Manifesto of Futurism”, but found it rather disorienting. Goldberg describes how performance was an enormous part of the involved artists’ agenda, illuminating their contemptuous rejection of society’s notion of normative behavior. Her description of the movement and the role of performance art helped me to understand the perspective of the artists with clarity. I think performance art can challenge what art technically is, but also provide a new landscape for future generations of artists.
Similar to the Futurists attempts to crush the past and create a new future, Coco Fusco’s performance piece, displaying the fictional “Amerindian” challenges America’s past representation and exploitation of non-white peoples. It challenges American’s depictions of certain ethnicities and asks the viewer to reflect on past intercultural relations. I thought their use of tongue in cheek comedy was perfect for the subject matter and really posits interesting questions regarding how we view culture.
A Surfside Supercut
It actually took me a minute to think of a cool concept for this project, so I decided to just do a supercut video on something I love, which is surfing. I’ve always loved it as a kid, especially after watching Johnny Tsunami. There’s something about the flow of the sport, and the idea of people riding waves that I’m just fascinated with. I am proud of this work, but I actually am not as proud as the music video project we just did. I thought editing this these clips to fit the song was difficult because I was trying to leave as much video left untouched so people could see most of the clip. I was pleased though to find a highlights video from moments in 2019 from Surfer Magazine, so it made the process a lot easier in editing the clips; and the music is something I made awhile ago too, so that made the project easier as well - I thought it fit well with the concept I was trying to create.
If you do enjoy the song please go listen to it on my Soundcloud!

Art Project 3: One Minute Supercut
Title:
A Little Saying To Get A Laugh.
Artist Statement:
Do you often hear people respond with this when someone says something like “Man, that test was hard” or do you find yourself saying this phrase? I’m a victim of it because it’s a phrase that never gets old and I am known to joke around sometimes whenever I’m hanging out with my friends.
It was definitely a challenge and disappointing having to shorten the clips to where I had to cut out the main body of the joke. But, I think that the shortened clips came out good because it can make someone wonder what was said to make Michael Scott or the other office workers to say “that’s what she said.”
I hope you enjoy my video!
Fun Fact: “That’s what she said” is said 51 times between Season 2-Season 9 of The Office.

Nature verses music was inspired by the two most beautiful things in the world. There is a euphoric feeling found in both music and nature. But, what happens when these ideas are combined? I feel that they are even stronger together. An iconic and timeless pairing like peanut butter and jelly; it simply does not get old. Music sounds sweeter in nature. Likewise, nature shines brighter with a soundtrack. My supercut was formed from Cercle videos found from YouTube. I cut together some of my favorite pieces. From this video I hope you find a feeling of happiness and relaxation. A minute away from the typical stresses of the day. A reminder to relax and unwind. Music and nature can sooth your soul as they compliment each other.
Artist Statement:
I made this video because I had the realization that no matter what culture, religion ethnicity, or nationality differences we may have, the one thing that brings us all together is the fact that no matter how hard we try, no one can use fireworks safely. This is only halfway a joke as some of my fondest childhood memories were messing around with fireworks and explosives with kids from my neighborhood that sometimes didn’t even speak the same language as me and my brother, to say nothing of our parents’ lack of supervision. Although there’s controversy over the safety of fireworks for the health of our great Colorado plains, nothing quite captivates people more than an exploding ball of color and fire in the sky (or on the ground in most of these cases), and the rush of adrenaline and the great memories that come with accidentally putting a firework upside-down or blowing up a watermelon with an M-80. Despite their downfalls (literally) fireworks perfectly capture the spirit of celebration and awe that many people feel during a holiday, and gathering around to watch fireworks is one tradition that can bring an entire neighborhood together.
Frantic Flames Engulf Colorado
Artist Statement:
With the fires increasing in size recently in Colorado, I chose to show the mass, damage, and destruction they have caused. Colorado is a beautiful state filled with many treasures. However, these fires are destroying much of the Colorado sites we all love. While I didn’t choose to focus much on firefighters fighting these fires, prayers and thoughts are with these brave men and women risking their lives to save others and put these frantic flames to an end.
Art Project 3: Love Your Existence
Artist Statement
For this project I wanted to create a relaxing and philosophical short work of video art. I chose to focus on nature, mainly aerial footage, because I thought it lended itself well to the subject content. The audio is from an artist named @MoStFeAr, which also featured the lecture by Alan Watts. It was a much longer clip that I trimmed down to include the most poignant section of the track. I wanted to focus on ephemeral forces of nature that complimented the subject of human existence. Birth and death are the main components of both the audio and visuals, which I thought were represented well in each of the selected clips. I hope Watt’s ideas captivated you and the video complimented his brilliant and profound words. Works cited is located in the description.
