I've been working on ideas around how to present my line rubbings; in particular a project where I've included my family in the line rubbing process. I'd like to create an experiential sculpture that tells the story of my family. Today I attempted to create pictures of what this might look like, playing around with scale by making the viewers bigger or smaller. Voila!
I recently did an installation where I made these rubbings into a silk screen, printed it in a repeat network on a 9'X9' fabric and then projected a video which included photos of Clara and I (sometimes wearing the our shared wedding dress) as well as footage of a friend and I manipulating layered acetates of the rubbings. I was exploring the idea of allowing people in my community to support me in my grieving process, and reanalyzing mine and Clara's former relationship.
Below are some snapshots of the installation. Video to come soon. I am so in love with these pillows from Sukan Handmade Design. The coolest part is that they are made from upcycled ancient kilims (rugs) from the middle east. Amazing!
I already received amazing Christmas gifts from back home, so these pillows will remain on my wish list until next year or until I have non-student status. That's okay, I'll just continue to visit them on Etsy. One of my XMAS gifts was an Amazon gift card from all the italian ladies in my family. I spent it right away on this, this, this and this. Then, because Wild Fibres subscriptions don't ship to Canada from Amazon, I went to the magazine shop next door and bought this today. It's fabulous! I'm a happy lady. |
