The Alice 15




This is long overdue. Below is a series of 15- 15"x15" canvases w/ collages sewn onto them and an image from the collage painted onto the canvas. I do need to reshoot them as I documented them quickly so they could be seen.

22nd and Worth



Another -motion and image- study.

The merry go round, which is actually a jewelry display on Worth Ave just seemed so eerie to me at night without jewelry on it. This one is set to the opening of Dead Can Dance's 'Summoning of the Muse' from the 'Within the Realm of a Dying Sun' album. Composed by Brenden Perry and vocals by Lisa Gerrard..... no copyright infringement intended.I always thought this song had a great haunting quality, so I paired it w/ the eerie merry go round, and empty elevators have always sorta creeped me out....

D9EAM


This is the completed D9EAM series. I've been working on this idea for quite sometime and when the opportunity to show some work presented itself, I opted to bring this series to life.

I decided on 9 panels, each panel 12"x12"


The lyric fragments I used are as follows:
1- DROWNING
Moby
Porcelain - In my dreams I'm dying all the time

2- WISE OLD MAN
Interpol
Pioneer to the Falls- So much for dreams we see, I am not prepared to know..

3-THE OCEAN
PJ Harvey
Horses- Horses in my dreams, like waves like the sea

4-THE MAZE
Joakim
Lonely Heart- Lonely hearts, lonely dreams

5- THE KNIFE
Aesthetic Perfection
The Great Depression- California dreams of suicide

6- THE RACE
Dead Can Dance
American Dreaming- We've been too long American dreaming

7-THE MASK
VNV Nation
Dark Angel- In your dreams you see my clear

8-PLAYING CARDS
Frontline Assembly
Provision- We'll steal your dreams, control your mind
9- DIVINE CHILD
Apoptygma Berzerk
Pikachu- I wonder what you dream...

South Ocean & Ambassador South

This is a blog I have been wanting to do for sometime, and now I can actually do it.

I've started to create 'motion and image' studies...and pairing them w/ music. For some of you, you're thinking 'finally she is making the next step to film' HA!!!! yea, finally is correct.

Below are 2 'studies'

South Ocean and Ambassador South

The first was a drive I did and I thought Thievery Corporation's Sweet Tides would be the perfect song...so I shot the drive, I converted it to black and white and then tweaked the contrast (think the 5 filter in the dark room...I know some of you know what I'm referring too;)), and then I plopped the song into the scene.

The second one was from a walk in the hallway of where I live/visit in Florida. I kept thinking it reminded me of a concrete disco ball. So I shot 3- 1 min clips, edited them down to 35 seconds and used just the instrumental parts of Rotersand's War on Error.


My goal is to do 1 study per month... we shall see if by the end of the year there are 12.

Enjoy
