Grandmother Influence

3’ x 5’ x 4’ , royal blue stained wood, rope infused with nag champa incense, my grandmas sheet, felt heart

This piece is an in-process testing for my larger thesis. Experimenting with techniques for stretching fabric as a canvas to be displayed, utilizing scent, memory, nostalgia, mementos and color to draw influence from my grandmother Lucy who I stay with as I work on my Diploma. She provides me the basic necessities for life and brings me a place to feel safe and this experiment is dedicated to her.

Manifesto Public: Final

This piece tries to incorporate my mind into a performance again but instead through gender, through my interests. I use my new-found love for DJ-ing to play electronic music while posted up in front of an electric center site. The sound is drowned out though by the buzzing of the world around me. It is not until you take a step closer do you really hear me, but never quite understand me.

Proposals

QCQ2

1. "In rhetorical terms, however, the pedestal makes an appearance that is more powerful than that of the frame in several regards. On the one hand, by raising the object physically, the pedestal always elevates the object's symbolic status. Witness the history of sculpture in public space: for centuries, statues have been raised on pedestals as others have been toppled. On the other hand, the pedestal maintains a more complex relationship with the space surrounding it than the frame a space out of which the pedestal is supposed to lift its object while being embedded in it."

2. COMMENT -- I was attracted to this quote because I had not before considered the parallels of frames and pedestals, and then in context of each other. I recently have been quite fascinated with different frames and framing for art, as in literal borders and confines of a piece. I have also enjoyed the experimentation with borders, whether that be painting a canvas' edge or adorning it, a huge ornate frame, a ceramic frame, and loads of possibilities! I am considering working on a huge painting, framed and tension-strung like a trampoline from a large frame.

3. QUESTION -- Are variations of the frame and pedastal important as unique variations, or are they important as their own new set of boundaries.

4. IMAGE --

Vanity as a Woman:GRWM2024

Get ready with me!

If anything is drag, then this is my entrance as a woman, performing as me;

Be that as woman, be the performer, and be part of the audience that asks for more,

It’s to DIE for.

Documentation:

My first time doing my own drag makeup and clothes, first time performing. In the privacy of my own home I document the intimate process of exploring the intricate process of reading oneself to entertain. The only audience for my test run is you, through a mostly unadulterated lens. The vanity was painted and collaged from secondhand furniture off the web, and set designed by my boyfriend and I to resemble the accumulation of comforting cute and quaint nicknacks that represent some of the things I wish to represent in myself as I transform.
