- There seems to be a recurring "perfect" theme.
- The frosting used to cover each woman's face is a different color.
- Most of the people in her artwork are women.
- It's ironic that in her video, "Begin," she's destroying it, so it's as if it's actually ending.
- There are a lot of pieces that require a set of something.
Questions:
- What is your inspiration for your artwork?
- What is the significance of some doilies folded or missing from "The Offering"?
- Why are the girls blowing coal and flour piles into each other's faces in "Flour and Coal"?
- What is the significance of the recurring frosting in your artwork?
- What is the material of the piece "Blued," and why is there a bump in it (it's not flat)?
Response:
I had no idea how much her mother side influenced her art. I didn't notice the domestic implications at first, but now I can visualize how her pieces have strong traces of femininity. I also didn't know that her and her artist friend made videos in response to each other, which I thought was extremely interesting. I've always thought about art being a way to express yourself and not a conversations of sorts. I was also really impressed that she took over 40 hours to create the frosting pieces for shows, especially since she has two kids.
