This onsite installation was created as a final project for the graduate course titled "From The Studio to the Classroom."
It was through a consideration of the themes, practices and concerns for contemporary art, we sought to adapt and translate ideas for PreK - 12 settings. The intent was not to imitate the themes, practices and concerns of contemporary art but rather support the idea of adaptation, translation and the production of new meaning. One such theme that was explored was the fragmented body.
Description of the work:
A room littered with errant graffiti and dramatically lit. In one area of the room a pedestal bowl glows and bubbles over with a foggy substance, at the bowl's base a serpent slithers towards the viewer. Two translucent figures are juxtaposed in close proximity, a sculpted feather is the only point that connects them. The figures glow with pink and blue lights. Electronic music creates a pulse that permeates the room. A breeze from a fan activates the pink mirabu mohawk of the figure who holds a position of dominance. It seems as if something is going to occur at any moment, elation, anxiety, release. This is Pinky's Place.
Materials: cellophane tape and mixed media
