This weekend my whole world kind of turned itself upside down. & I kind of feel ok about it.
Anyway, it left me with a whole Sunday free to catch up with the art work I've been neglecting. Hence the above. I got the images from an old American Apparel promotional magazine thing & these were two of the most horrible images (as I'm sure you're aware of AA's questionable advertising campaigns) of a girl in the back of a taxi & a girl on the floor, her eyes...jeez.
So I made them out of fabric in some kind of weird twisted feminist message, or whatever I wrote about it in my art book. I'm kind of all out of theoretical bullshit... Now I just need to get in some life drawing & create 1-3 life size knitted cartoon female bodies without heads. & for English I'm recreating a 'bloody chamber' from the Angela Carter short story, The Bloody Chamber. We're making an iron maiden and sticking pins in barbies. I think I'm turning into a goth kid at 18.
College is awesome.
Lovelovelove these. I adore your little quote bit too. It really applies to me right now
ReplyDeleteI miss Art. Though I think once I have the time I will prefer to just draw for the sake of drawing rather than to get a grade. I hope. This is lovely anyway. I think you are much more imaginative than I ever have been; I basically draw people and buildings and birds and that's it. Oh and I like wire sculptures. A bit out there, I know..
ReplyDeleteWhy do you not shop in Topshop anymore? I only really buy underwear and the occasional thing in the sale because it's just so expensive for something that everybody else is going to have I think.
You seem very happy, which is nice. I am momentarily quite happy because I just got an offer from Liverpool Uni (I'm telling everyone, don't feel the need to care aha).
Yayy, i wanna see more of your feminist art! Going good ;) xxxx
