a July [art] submission.

currently listening to: Cults  "Go Outside"

 

I've once again re-appeared back on my blog after another disappearance that was very much so - art related in every way possible.  I have been completely stressed out attempting to finish my latest submission/entry of my artwork into a professional exhibition.  This time I entered my work in: The Other New York Show in Syracuse, New York.  This is 4th professional exhibition I have submitted to thus far, totally keeping count,  and I each time I get better & better at it!

Weeks prior, I had arranged an impromptu photo shoot at the flat Gregory & I share together, in the kitchen, for more professional photographs of my latest television installation, Static Attraction.  The kitchen soon transformed into a small D.I.Y. studio complete with ironed sheet and clamp lighting. The whole experience of seeing my installation shot was really exciting!  Greg's friend, Matt , did such an amazing job on such short notice!

I use what I can to make the most of things, but by no means, am I a professional photographer.  Each time I submit my artwork into a professional exhibition I recall more things I was taught in college, such as: tips on a more professional presentation, and ways to create a more cohesive presentation of my work.  It's the learning process all over again in a new light...and I like it.

I am striving to continue my artisitic growth all the while continuing my learning and knowledge of the career path I want so, so much!

 

I wanted to document the doumentation of my piece...so I snuck a photograph of him in action using Greg's iPhone.  Yes, that is a little disco ball hanging from our kitchen fan.

I realize this small makeshift studio may make people ask, "..what was she thinking?!"  I am simply doing what I can, with what I have and learning all through the experience.

These are the selected photographs Matt shot for exhibition entries.  I used both the photographs for Static Attraction and wanted to finally share a photograph, that Matt also took, of my finished Epiphany (Lilith) piece.

I apologize for not posting the finished photograph of Lilith much ealier!  I completely forgot to snap a photo before I had her matted & framed, because of the rush I was in.

 

I [want] to be a strong part of the art world.

I [want] people to know and recognize my style.

I [will] keep creating my art until my goals and dreams are fully obtained.
