I’m finished!

This past Saturday was my BFA graduate show. I was able to include 6 pieces in the show, including Schematic, Prints, Routine, The New Romance, Origami Twist (see Portfolio section for pictures) and my latest piece entitled Red Letter Cape.

The cape is similar to my novel pieces in that I’m continuing to remove ‘dirty’ words from romance novels. With the cape, however, I took the words and hand-sewed them onto a cape I made with clear thread:

The show went really well, but I’m glad its done. Super stressful trying to wrangle 19 graduates into painting, cleaning, and setting up the school.

I was also part of a show about 6 weeks ago, but I forgot to post about it. It was a music show called I’ve got the music in me. It was pretty interesting & included three of my pieces:

Finally, The New Romance (my novels I’ve been working on) are completely finished (I think I finished them in February). I put them in a booth:

I’ll be including more pictures in the portfolio section later, but I took the books I made and put them into boxes inside the booth. One box had the original books with the words removed, the other had my ‘new’ ones. The viewer is forced to put their hands in the sides and read the books through a slit in the front of the boxes. I even put a red light in the booth - I wanted it to be a bit sleazy.
