Our House

babies

So one week til thesis installation. I'm so excited! I haven't been working in my studio for about a month - my ladies can't be in such a dusty environment or they'll ruin their evening wear. This one's a little blurry - I'm not going to give away the good photographs! (It's funny as I just wrote that, I thought about how I get so mad when museums or galleries don't use good images to promote their shows - obviously to not give the work away but entice people enough to come.) My work has gotten really hilarious, and to me, each object has become like my child - doesn't help that they are actually child size and I carry each around, propped on my hip like a baby. I have to remember that they aren't my children, but women with their own identities. This is something I really have to consider when I photograph. It's been fun, setting them up in different situations with eachother and other objects.

Yesterday I was photographing the nailpolish and the perfume bottle at the kitchen table in my house when I noticed that a stool was pushed underneath, making the table cloth look all weird. Right as I go to move it, the perfume bottle threw herself off of the chair and summersaulted to the ground. I swear she hurled itself. The only damage was the loss of 5 jewels, all which can be glued back on. I almost died. These ladies are pretty solid!

work in progress

My thesis work is coming along slowly but surely. I've never taken so much time and care with my work before (that may not be totally true but that's how I feel!). The objects I'm making are basically going to be playing people in movies I'm making, which makes me more attached to them. And the fact that they are giant! They're like my babies or something.

For my show I'm making large scale objects related to how women adorn themselves - ie make-up products and jewelry. The photos show my giant powder compact and lipstick and I'm currently working on a large diamond engagement ring - I'm really excited, but I'm going to keep the movie plots a secret for now.
