Dinner & a Movie

Dinner & A Movie Barbie & The 12 Dancing Princesses Artist's Statement: I wanted this piece to depict the nostalgic memories of this Iconic film while also displaying the film's main theme of immaturity vs maturity. In the film, Barbie and her 12 sisters fight to get control of their lives and kingdom back from their evil cousin. The overall colour scheme and mood are childlike, with sprinklings of adult items such as the candlestick and the wine glass. The plate in the center is shattered in pieces to depict the turmoil happening within the family. As the sisters fight to break their harsh cousin's rules they are represented by flowers poking through the pieces of broken plate. Flowers are also a commonly used motif throughout the film to represent the sisters so I made sure to include them. The inclusion of CDs and a CD case was to tie together the nostalgia of it all. The child-sized fork next to the pink stake knife was to represent how outnumbered the sisters

Figurative Busts

Figurative Busts PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Final Pictures: Artist's Statement: I wanted this piece to express how it feels when you have PTSD, I wanted it to show the ever-lurking trauma, clouding over your view of life. The two sculptures are to mirror and connect to each other like pieces of a puzzle. The girl is bending over in grief and sadness as the other figure lurks over her making her feel isolated and alone. The blue ink represents the sadness that comes from traumatic memories and the black represents the darkness and loneliness of how it feels. The yarn clouds over the figure of the girl and connects to the figure in the back, representing the endless triggers. The faces protruding out the back figure are to be the screams of pain to represent the memories held within the person.

Though the torch is large it is filled with arms and legs which are life-size to one of a human. This leads to the viewer asking the question of why did she choose to contrast the scale in this way. By doing this it makes the torch look larger than life while also grounding it. She also uses the design element of repetition to emphasize the many, many lives lost and ruined through police brutality by repeating the use of arms and legs.
