1. Square double layer cake:

Materials: Utrecht/Joanne's Fabric

-readymade canvases
-zap glue
-acrylic paint (white, gold)
-buttons
-pink nylon thread

Process

-glued smaller square canvas on top of the larger canvas
-spread white acrylic paint over entire piece as frosting
-spread gold tint acrylic paint over it to make it look old
-glued buttons on top surface of both layers to add color, candy, flavor, evoke more edibility.
-winded thread around all buttons, connecting them in various symmetries

Concepts

Past experiences surface from the cake in which it becomes 'relic' to a conglomeration of occurrences from the past:
Desire to preserve relationships/events, childhood, reconcile with past, anxiety regarding uncertainty of future, my mother’s compulsiveness to shop for food and the house being overstocked with food, to replace/disguise initial lack,religious iconography.
Impulsion
Preservation/time
Desire
Memory
Death/procrastination
Re/collecting
Limitation (in purchase selection & inability to eat)
Prolongation of desire
Visual edibility
Exploit readymade canvas (original attempt in building small furniture pieces)
Readymade Canvas (notion of artist as consumer of materials to create, the convenience to “make art” compulsively--this in relation to anxiety, death.)
Limited choice selection inherent in the consumption of readymade canvas (aesthetic as a consequence of this limitation--as is the case for 9x12in. oval canvases)
Acrylic-paint as edible medium (tension of inability to eat this medium)


Eating (desire, inability, lack)
+ Consumption (of canvases to reconstruct the present)

Self Portrait as Self Portrait

5 Instructions For The Successful Creation Of An Enviable Self Portrait:

1. take off yr face but leave it on (for further instructions please visit "The Heart Sutra").
2. be sure the waist stylistically fits around the 1930's for the best silhouette.
3. laugh, as accident on canvas by recognizing small shapes in the distance.
4. rescue excess laughter from the canvas weave and rework into finer details that pose as "style".
5. be mildly attracted to yr representation.

Karaoketures

Karaoke footage as pattern or source of color for dress,
embroidered lyrics and song&artist as label.

Digitial printer might make it work.

Failed Dwarf Paint

"There is a danger that the art, like other aspects of control technology, will only serve to dull our senses and dampen our indignation"






Fabricate life as imitating art. An embodiment of eros and loss.

Life as control technology:

film walking styles
slang
laughing
violence patterns

create transfers of each pattern and style and cut out to imitate dress form.

called:1(800)988-1088 to see if the probe or digital control system could be replaced by a digital audio device that would play poetry or a recording of Hair's heartbeat or both her poem & heartbeat at the same time.

if anyone could display their heartrate on a t.v., it'd be interesting to see it superimposed over an ongoing weather channel or tvshow.

I don't want to but,
I'm beginning to see my cat
as a kind of textile, changing
what it means to be a cat and
the way she's been perceived as
'a cat'. She begins and ends
somewhere, though not sure where,
walking throughout the room,
a clause between exterior-fur
and how far one could go
looking into her eyes; green,
another field I am afraid there is
nothing inside her, but a personality
I'm not even sure is relevant
to an interior sentence.

Thread of Forgetting

Edited in a way to
assist the viewer to forget
entirely through speed acceleration,
movement & lack of footage.

Materials:
spool of metallic thread
video-camera

Process:
Left-hand screen:
single long shot of
metallic thread unravelling
until it ends.
Right-hand screen:
images from someone's life
flashing until the thread ends.

Sound options/al: debussy,poem recitation, rain.

Continuity of Metallic Thread--->Memory--->Interrupted frames= narrative of forgetfulness

check out: "Moments in Time: One Narration & Slowness", by Susanne Gaensheimer Leubachhaus/Munchen.

"snapshots from the passing reality & string them on a becoming.." h.bergson.

The speed of representing speed; thread as a line of forgetting while in attempt to preserve and embroider itself.

soon, this will be forgotten.
